[QUOTE="ajridgedell, post: 1077085, member: 30426"] For shooting targets that aren't stretching the capabilities of a rifle system I agree 100%. In my situation the difference between 2782fps and 3010fps is 71moa vs 58.9moa from some quick calculations. And it would give me 175 yards more supersonic range (not much value there imho). If it allows me to use less of the reticle for holdover and not have to zoom out as far (FFP scope) and still gives me acceptable accuracy, and requires less load development, it is worth the trade off for not having it shoot the best groups the rifle is capable of. That is my thinking for this project. If it does not shoot like I want it to at 92 grains, I will have to do a ladder test to get the desired results. I will be happy with .5moa or a little worse maybe. To your point, my 243 that I take to 600yards matches I could care less about velocity because the highest score wins, not the fastest bullet.
