[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1749841, member: 87887"] I think we always have to ask ourselves what our priorities are. There are always trade offs. For competition, ultimately, consistency is king. A couple hundred fps at a known distance means little and a higher round count is desirable. For a hunting rifle, that speed helps cover variables in situation such as an animal moving a few steps after ranging or when using a nearby object to range because our equipment cant reliably range a relatively non-reflecive target. Elmer Kieth (I think) is reported to have said, "Efficiency be *rule 4 violation*, its results we're after". And as dmagna pointed out, a hunting rifle may last 30 years regardless. Just my .02.
