[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 693121, member: 52763"] Back when I was doing a lot of load development for my 22-250 in Remington 788 and just shooting from the bench for fun. I never competed, but I noticed patterns at time and made mental notes. This article jogged my memory concerning "hypothetical minute of angle" remaining the same from 100 yards thru 1000 yards. Every time I worked up a good load at 100 yards using different powder & bullet combinations, I would check to see how well it shot at 200 yards. I was always amazed at how often the "minute of angle" group would be smaller at 200 yards than at 100 yards. Our range had a max of 250 yards, but I never shot any groups at that range. I suspected with some bullets, perhaps the bullet hadn't settled down at 100 yards yet, but had no way of confirming that thought. I concluded I had a benefit of extra accuracy when field shooting at 200 yards. Perhaps my conclusion was wrong, but it pleased me for a long time and probably gave me some extra confidence. Now I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience. [/QUOTE]
