[QUOTE="Bug, post: 122457, member: 2185"] Shawn, Did you do this at any distance? Guessing 600-800yds? Or, was this done at close (50 yds?) range by reducing the load/velocity? What I'm looking for is someone that has tested full-house loads at long range and also tested the same bullets at close range with reduced velocity. Impact velocities would need to be near the same. The only real variable would be the bullet rpm, given that you would be subject to the vagaries of this type comparison. We'd have to assume barrels with the same twist. Without looking up data, let's say comparing the 200 SMK from a .308 at 50yd & 2400 fps impact velocity, and the same bullet from a Win Mag (3000 fps muzzle velocity)impacting at about 350 yds. Even better would be a bigger case starting the bullet at 3500fps, and impactimg around 600 yd. I just do not think the expansion will be the same, with the greater expansion being with the faster spinning bullet. Am I clear as mud, now?
