[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 3002614, member: 110615"] What velocities are those? I have shot a few thousand rounds with 195 and 190 bergers. They basically are identical. Same charge and seating die settings. I think the 190s may be more consistent at all velocities I have experience with. I have 22”-30” barrels and have only loaded and shot them from the 7 Sherman short case. So I have found anywhere from 2615 FPS-2850 FPS shoots well. My favorite match was running 190s at 2615. ROs commented it looked like a laser and yeah you could just watch it fly but laser? This was a Hunter style field match. It hammered for sure. So why is faster better? The only reason I can think of is 195 terminal performance on game. Having enough velocity for the bullet to do damage internally. I harvested an elk at 500 yards and 2760 FPS dissolved the heart. He took a knee on the spot. It just seems that faster would always equal better numbers on a chart but in the field is it necessarily better? I’m not sure it is for competition. For hunting yeah I agree TOF is something to consider the more distant from the target. [/QUOTE]
