I carry a load that lets me shoot at either limit - there are too many good choices to do otherwise.
Hell i only use 105gr RS to shoot out to 200 yards

120 to 130 is not a waste of powder - and what many would consider a mag load.
There are a lot of projectiles that will work very well with this load and on up to 150 gr from point blank to 200 yds - even if it is a waste of powder. You admitted pb's will
not do this. Why would anyone carry a load expecting long shots that might not work if a 5 yd shot presents itself - and pay a premium to do it?

sure they will, just have to pick the right one is all.
i myself have used 120 and 150gr charges years ago with powerbelts when i knew i could have shots out to 200 yards. Both deer were shot from 146 and 148 yards, all with pass through.
