[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 923844, member: 39801"] More and more I am becoming a firm believer that farther is better when developing a load. While shooting good groups at 100yds is gratifying, I think it tells you more about shooter consistency than the loads. Check out the attached target (graciously ignore my flyer to the left of the bull). This was a 100yd target I shot doing a max-charge work-up with a 22-250. I don't have the data in front of me, but MV spread between the low and high charge was something like 350fps. It is 8 shots. Clearly, at farther range this MOA group would open up dramatically. What appears to be good at 100 could prove to be poor at 400. What is good at 400 is pretty much impossible to be bad at 100. My 2C Brandon [/QUOTE]
