PredatorDown Wrote:Going off my own personal experience, I have to respectfully disagree. I have my accuracy load with 123gr amax at a mere 2530fps. If I pushed it to the ragged edge of attainable speed with my 22" barrel at 2650, that only nets me a 3MOA advantage at 1000 yards. If I can consistently group MOA at 1000 yards, and quite often shoot right around MOA to 1400, and even stretch it to a mile with only going 2530, what else do I really have to gain?
I don't mind, it a general rule and all barrel shoot differently. Most barrels will have 3 different accurate nods. How much effort did you spend trying to get that load to shoot better. Accuracy can change with your next pound of powder, or a new lot of bullets. There are several articles written about your best accuracy coming from close to max loads. I am curious what yardage does your load go transonic? My guess is about 1200 yards.
