Here are my thoughts:
What distance do you expect to shoot?
What game are you hunting?
What Caliber? ( I assume 6.5 creed)
Will you be hunting at a higher elevation?
Maximum velocity does not equal consistency.
When I would zero my 7mm in 50 degrees at 5200 in October I found very little change hitting elk-heart-MOA at 8,000 in 30 degrees. But mine was at 200 yards. I used commercial ammo. I will say my rifle liked the federal blue box and was noticeably less accurate with the federal red box. Admittedly, 7mm has a very flat trajectory. I’m not sure about 6.5 yet.
I haven’t #reloaded for my 7mm yet but plan to within the year.
Please share your experience as you learn.
