[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1581952, member: 96226"] If it groups under an inch at 100 and you've got 20fps SD's you're fine for 1000. For my own purposes as a competitive shooter: I require my match loads to print under .7"MOA, .5" or smaller is better and I'll usually go till I find a load that's not super sensitive and delivers that .5MOA 5-shot group. My SD's, I require them to be under 20fps and under 10fps is better. Once I have a load that makes my requirements at 100, it'll make it at 1000. I never would "tune" a load for 1000 because it should not behave markedly differently at 1000 than it does at 100 if it's still fully supersonic. I would tune the shooter if there's a big difference between how it does at 100 and how it does at 1000 (in terms of angular measurements). Here you can see exactly how Coach and I did our last load dev cycle. This is bascially how we do it every time.
