[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1678003, member: 96226"] Okie dokie. I'll bet a crispy dollar bill that'll work in any machine that you're pressures are near or at max. 2700fps with a 200gn bullet is really gittin it but if you think about it, 2650 is not so wild and barrel length explains the delta. Pressure signs are notoriously hard to "read" until things are already way too hot. I wouldn't take things any further on the charge weight. .1gr increments is a pointless WOMBAT (waste of money brains and time). Coarser increments will save you the WOMBAT expenditure. .5gr is a totally acceptable increment. If you feel the need follow up on interesting loads with .2gr increments to validate your velocity stability assessment. 1. Yes. 2" of barrel past 24" might get you 50fps. 2650 + 50 = 2700 2. Not at all. Different barrel/primer/powder/case/bullet's can skew results. The skew you've observed is well within the explainable given the totality of your combo. 3. Yes. Don't. 4. You have left at least 3 significant terms in your question undefined and so it is impossble to answer. Your load's doing just fine to get you well over 1000yrds. 5. Meh. It's not like you're running so hot that somethings going to break but be careful about leaving the ammo in the sun and maybe think about cutting back .3 grain to give yourself a little head room. It'll be easier on brass so the brass will last longer. 6. If it's an optical type (sits out in front of the gun on a tripod) then the error that's innate in the device is enough to make very tightly refined numbers oxymoronic. FWIW, OP, you worry too bloody much. Relax a little. [/QUOTE]
