Of course, past 100 the 320 will hold its velocity better and shoot a bit flatter due to a much better BC.

I do the same type of thing with my .35 Whelen a 225 AB at 2840 fps and 300gr Barnes O at 2355 shoot into the same group at 100. That just happened that way not because it was planned. CFE223 for the 225 and RL17 for the 300. I won't give the loads, but it works!

I might be hunting a wolf or deer with the 225 and run into a bear at close quarters. Or, I might be sitting over a bear bait at 40 -50 yds, get tired of that and want to wander a bit, so the 225 goes into the chamber, etc.
