[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 679902, member: 5060"] First don't get twisted up about 25 fps or even 50 fps because your muzzle velocity spread if properly done will tell you a lot more and help you a whole lot more than that little bit of velocity. Lower muzzle velocity deviation means less vertical dispersion FACT do the math on your load and you will see what just 35fps will do high to low. Your group shooting is subject to too many variables to even go into here but we will assume you are set up perfect and your technique is perfect on the bench for you load evaluation. Groups at 100 yards mean squat at 1k—there is No correlation at all and if anyone tells you different they have never shot long range BR and been successful. To properly evaluate the pills you are using start at 300 or 400 if possible and go from there on development. When shooting LR consistency is the overall key to being successful. Being able to get the rifle and load to shoot the same every time THEN you can work on things like judging condition which is the single most important variable besides set up you will face in your quest.
