I just ran some numbers through the JBM Ballistic Calculator for the 162gr Amax using the Litz BC numbers and stopping at 1000 yards.
First load starting at 3000fps and the second at 2750fps.
At 100 the MV advantage is 244fps.
@100 it's 244fps.
@200 it's 237fps.
@300 it's 230fps.
@400 it's 223fps.
@500 it's 215fps.
@600 it's 208fps.
@700 it's 201fps.
@800 it's 196fps.
@900 it's 190fps.
@1000 it's 180fps.
Yes, the faster starting bullet loses velocity more quickly but it maintains a 200+fps advantage out to 700 yards.
That's significant to me, if only in my mind.
