What's faster at 100 Yards, higher or lower bullets?

[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2415670, member: 103303"] Often these days I will load a 'ladder', incrementally increasing the charge under the bullet by an incremental amount. A true ladder test is typically performed at distance - usually at the distance one is tuning for. Typically, the point of impact from each bullet will 'climb' up as the charge is increased. What is interesting, however, and for me this occurs pretty consistently, [B] The bullet holes at the top of the ladder are not the fastest load [/B] Usually as the maximum load is approached, point of impact will go down at the target. This is what guys are talking about when they use words like tuning and barrel harmonics. On heavy barrel guns, the steps on the ladder are typically smaller, but with featherweight barrels the movement can be dramatic, even at 100yd.[B][/B] [/QUOTE]
