[QUOTE="BENNYBOOBOO, post: 306703, member: 11190"] Now it really looks like you ought to be working at 200-300 yards! All that variation in charge weights and you're still looking at a group that's barely over 1 minute! Seems to me that you've got a great shooter that was meant for reaching out and printing small groups. Just out of curiosity- why rely on the chronograph to tell you where an accuracy node is? I don't get it. What does bullet speed have to do with where the different charge weights land on the target, especially so close like at 100 yards? Don't get me wrong, I understand that a large ES will open up a group like you wouldn't believe. However this would come in handy when an accuracy load has already been found by using the OCW test. Seems to me that if we're worried about speed and horsepower of a cartridge effecting it's performance on targets and animals, we're probably shooting the wrong caliber to start with. In the early stages of an OCW test, what does bullet speed tell us? EH [/QUOTE]
