[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 1867948, member: 102254"] Since my hunting days are in the "rearview mirror", my concern is accuracy over velocity. That being said, wj=hen considering long-range, out to and including 1000 meters, velocity is a concern. When the projectile goes subsonic, it's subject to wind more but more often the round gets "wonky". The spin is what makes them accurate, which is why the Kentucky rifles were vastly superior to the old Brown Bess muskets. I have found that using a chronograph helps a bunch. Interestingly, my two long-range rifles have accuracy nodes at low and approaching maximum. That be the case, I will opt for the higher velocity every time. My opinion only. [/QUOTE]
