[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2834117, member: 116439"] I think that it is two different things. When working up a load at 100 yds I always look for the most accurate load with low ES & SD and not looking for the fastest load. Some shooters will look for an acceptable group MOA and pump the load for highest velocity. At 100yds doesn't matter if just hunting at that range. FPS matters with wind drift and Drop, Gravity is constant but the farther an object can travel in a specific amount of time relative to gravity will give you more or less drop. If you are shooting distance YES VELOCITY MATTERS. BC also comes into play. That is different with bringing DRAG into the discussion. [/QUOTE]
