[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 22633, member: 34"] Speed Excessive velocity will most times always kill accuracy. If you want good accuracy, they must be slowed down. This can be checked with your chronagraph at the 100, 200 and 300 and 500 yard range, on targets. Many shooters try to get as much velocity out of a rifle and find that it don't really shoot that well. The trick is to settle in on a load that gives a bit of BOTH but, not on the excessive velocity side. The high velocity will do you no good at all if you can't hit anything. Sometimes you will find barrels that will shoot at higher velocities but, not too often. For instance, I can shoot a 220 gr bullet in my 1000 yard 300 Weatherby Match gun at 3150 FPS but the accuracy range is 3000 to 3025 FPS. It's more drastic as the cases get bigger and the bores smaller. Later DC [ 06-25-2002: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
