[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1421196, member: 75933"] Here you go..... in a cartridge as slow as a 45 colt from a carbine, the slower bullet impacts higher due to the longer "dwell" time in the barrel after ignition. I has more of an opportunity to be affected by the recoil rise. Now, speed up that bullet and you end up with a lower impact since the bullet leaves the barrel sooner after firing. I've had identical results in my 454 Super Redhawk when changing bullet weights. I want to say that the slower lighter practice rounds were always higher ont he target than the heavy hitting full power 454 loads. Enough so that I'd have to adjust the scope for different loads even at closer ranges. [/QUOTE]
