OK guys - Now my interest is peaked after looking at reloading data. I see that pressure and velocity do not go hand in hand. I am looking at Hodgdon's site and am looking at 12 g, 1 oz loading data. I see many loads that generated a velocity of 1100 fps but the pressure varies from 4500 to 6200 psi. Is there any reason other than cost or availability of components that I would want to shoot the higher pressure loads? I can't see where pressure offers any benefit if the velocity is the same. Is a 1700 psi differential significant?
