[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1863882, member: 26477"] When you focus on target shooting the consistency improves tremendously in 1920 and finally starts almost flatlining 80 years later. However, the bullets used by the hunter didn't improve until John Nosler invented the Nosler Partition bullet and started producing it for hunters who reload. Powder used was still primarily military grade in IMR 4831 and 4350. In good hunting round development I have always felt the bullet must be produced first with the appropriate propellant to follow. I believe that the flatlining we see in your illustration is in direct contrast to the bullet development during that period of time. [/QUOTE]
