B R H - Very Good. smile

I'd probably do similarly today if I were developing loads for the 7 RM.

OTOH - in the 80s I/we were looking for 'accuracy' with EVERY LAST fps we could get.

That actually was caused by 'magazine articles' & books. Shall we say, "Gunwriters" ? shocked.... grin

I'm making light BUT it is actually TRUE. whistle
I don't remember a single article that didn't encourage getting the most vel with the best accuracy.

Things have changed some in 30 odd yrs. I still CAN'T bring myself to 'get by' with pedantic velocity (speed). Believe it or not HI VEL does accomplish 3 positive things (at least). Now I have to get off this slick slide. grin
