[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 386114, member: 8873"] When I first got my .338 Edge from Kirby I found a load that was consistently well under 1/2moa at 100yards with a 300SMK kissing the lands. I stuck with this load until I shot it at 1000yards and noticed a solid 1moa verticle stringing. While shooting at 1000 I was also chronoing every shot and noticed up to 40fps difference in the rounds fired. I seated my bullets .1 deeper and even though my 100yard groups open up to stay in the 1/2moa range, my groups at distance shrank along with my velocity spread. This is just my experience. I also learned how important a chronograph is to use in load developement. That and 100yard groups mean little at long distance. [/QUOTE]
