[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1073163, member: 50867"] What do you get at 2920 - 3000 that you can't get at 2900? Very often when you get speed you lose accuracy. Perhaps it's' not readily apparent with 100 yard load testing but stretching it out to 300 yards often tells a different story. To create an accurate load you need to balance speed with accuracy. In a hunting rifle you have to reach the target and take it down. At 2900 fps mv your 180grn Berger is well above super sonic out past 1000 yards. Pushing to speed to 3000 fps does improve your wind drift, but only by about .3 MOA in a full value 10mph wind. [/QUOTE]
