[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1942296, member: 9281"] That's interesting, I have a ton of respect for Bryan too. Whatever may be the cause of this perceived (or real) phenomenon, I've dealt with it for years and the reason I only do load development at 250 yards or more. I've worked up loads at 100 yards (even less as per an experiment suggested by a friend) and they never held at distance. Done in reverse, accuracy and consistency beyond 300 yards has been excellent (half moa or better) and groups inside 200 yards mediocre to poor (1 moa or worse). I've always attributed it to bullets needing to go to sleep over a couple hundred yards. Whatever the cause, this has been my remedy and I try not to overthink it, just do what works for me. [/QUOTE]
