[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1984952, member: 12"] Personally, I think you are tilting at windmills and wasting effort. Engineers are afflicted with the desire to have things fit in a known model/formula and it does not work that way in real world. :) Every bullet, barrel, powder, primer, case combo is different and normally act differently. You are not going to find an accurate predictive "formula" that is accurate. Yes, bullet mftrs can give you some fairly accurate starting points for that style bullet, but you are going to have to physically test that specific combo with that rifle. Plus if you are testing for a magazine hunting gun, does not even matter at all and is meaningless as you will not be anywhere near the lands. There you should simply start at max magazine COAL and work backwards. BTW, not all BR guys shoot with bullets into the lands, that is an old school generalization. Cutting edge in the LR BR game is using labradars to tune for a known acccurate MV for that days conditions. Same thing Crane is doing is making sniper rounds to an exact known MV for each powder lot as a standard. That gives more consistent accurate ammuntion. [/QUOTE]
