That is lots fast enough for thumping moose and the like. Most of the 45-0, 375 Win and 38-55 loads I shoot run right in the 1600- 1900 range and I can tell you they knock stuff down real well. I have shot them faster but I can see absolutely no difference in killing power, they just kick a bunch harder, especially in the 45-70. Second shot recovery is much better at 1700 fps but I have rarely needed the second shot. What kind of groups were you getting out of those loads, or it is the same batch that was giving you the one inch groups from your first post?
