[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 2984747, member: 4768"] Before we had access to Lazer range finders and handheld ballistics solvers there was good reasons to chase velocities, now it often ends up being a variable that hurts long range precision. Bottom line; do a velocity ladder test at as long of a range you can be precise at and work your load around the data you achieve from that test. Food for thought; an extra 100 fps at the muzzle is not an extra 100 fps at 1000 yards. Shrinks to around 81 fps at 1000 yards and 69 at a mile. Not worth all the extra heat, barrel life, brass life and potential velocity migration IMO. [/QUOTE]
