[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1709892, member: 104268"] In order to maximize results and minimize effort, perhaps running fewer tests at wider velocities to bracket failures would reduce the number of shots needed. Perhaps 2 tests for each bullet initially. The fastest you can send them at very close range, and a test at the longest range you can make a hit, with a reduced load to simulate minimum manufacturer suggestions. If the bullet performs properly at both speeds, no need to test it in the middle. If the bullet fails at high speed, retest a couple hundred fps slower. If bullet fails at low speed, retest a couple hundred fps faster. [/QUOTE]
