Not exactly sure how to word this, but it seems to me it should be possible to come up with a list of target velocities for each barrel length and OBT nodes. Is there any published data?
(Now that i think of it, I guess it gets a lot more complicated because of the almost infinite choice of powders and bullets)
But I'd be interested to know what velocities I should target for this powder bullet combo:
Vanguard 223
24" barrel
1/12 twist
55gr sierra gameking
Winchester brass
IMR 8208 powder
Based on a 24-inch barrel, I believe you're looking for a velocity of about 3185 fps. What QL is saying is that you'd be getting about a 95% burn. My feeling is (and I could be wrong) that velocities might not be be consistent enough to take advantage of OBT. Who knows, though? It could work like a charm. It's worth a try.
