[QUOTE="joed, post: 1868272, member: 86185"] Thank you! I have been reloading for close to 50 years and can't believe how many people think velocity/accuracy compete with each other. That's not the case at all. I've found there are a few accuracy nodes during working up a load. The most accurate one generally comes very close to the max load. It's a rare exception if the most accuracy happens at low velocity. When I hear of someone that is loading just above the minimum load I figure they do not know much about ballistics. On one of the sites I frequent there was someone that was bragging about a load he used for a .22-250 that moved a 55 gr bullet at 3100 fps. Two posters told him they shoot that bullet from a .223 at a higher velocity. I figured that .22-250 load had to keyhole and wondered how anyone could have picked that load and determined it produced the best accuracy. [/QUOTE]
