[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1246304, member: 7999"] In my conversation with a gentleman that has spent a lot of time shooting for accuracy with the 300 blackout. His opinion is that bullets starting close to the supersonic mark at in a disruptive state when they leave the muzzle. He said he could get better accuracy if he started about 900fps. This makes sense as the sound barrier is not a finite line. It is an area of speed that causes disruption going into or out of. Thinking about all the aircraft testing trying to break the sound barrier. The stresses on the aircraft got bigger the closer they got to the mark. I think for a projectile to be accurate under the sound barrier it must have enough weight forward in order for the orientation to stay put. Like an arrow. The heavier portion of the projectile is always going to try and lead the way. The spinning is the equalizer, but the struggle is still there. So my opinion is good accuracy is going to be very difficult with a normal projectile. Load them backward and you may see better accuracy. All theory on my part as I have not tried any of it. :) Steve [/QUOTE]
