[QUOTE="groper, post: 445906, member: 12550"] Last thing is this; Good velocity consistency is only important at long range where the vertical variation becomes a problem due to velocity alone. At short range, you will not be able to disern any vertical variation from velocity alone. This is purely from the ballistic drop of the projectiles at different velocities and the effect becoming more amplified as the distance increases. It has nothing to do with barrel harmonics or any other part of the organic dispersion within the rifle system. You CAN have good accuracy at short range, with big velocity variations. You CANNOT have good accuracy at long range with big velocity variations. Although they often improve together, accuracy and velocity are 2 different things. accuracy is internal, velocity is external. [/QUOTE]
