[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1246415, member: 8873"] I believe that a cartridge designed for subsonic velocity will be better for longer range accuracy than one that can simply be loaded down to sub velocities. It's hard to get consistent velocity with a lot of unused case or lots of trailboss powder. I have been using lil'gun and a filler. I wish I would have made my case shorter but wanted to also run supersonic, in case I ever wanted to hunt a pachyderm. Accuracy at 100-200 is acceptable but goes to crap past that. I think at the ranges you are wanting that minute of house should be expected. As much as you have researched this you could have already built your rifle and thoroughly tested everything. Sometimes I don't mind being proven wrong.:D My barrel is a really fast one for a .510 caliber. I have also (as RockyMT stated) loaded spritzer boattails backwards and had better accuracy. [/QUOTE]
