[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1493346, member: 7999"] I don't shoot much at 100y. Only when the 200y range is not available. I do not put as much value in the target but the vel data is the same. I have experienced a load that shot less than expected at 100y. It was my 1st custom rifle and I remember being quite disappointed. I still had some loaded and just wanted to shoot my new rifle so I took it to the 200y butt and shot the same size group as it did at 100y. This phenomena has been debated heavily in the past. I have experienced loads that have moa size improvement at longer range vs 100y. In my opinion it is not possible for a load to shoot smaller groups at longer range than short range, actual physical size. When this happened to me I wondered how many good loads I had discarded because I did not take them farther than 100y. I will add to this that I personally shoot better at long range. The farther the range the more I am able to relax on my aiming. At short range I find myself trying to force the rifle to aim smaller. Steve [/QUOTE]
