A load that works great at 300 might not do worth a shit at 1 or 2. Take for example my 7x57 Mauser. At 300 it piles 162 A-Maxs on top of one another. That same load at 100 throws them all over the fuckin' place like a machine gun.
This is probably the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Just sayin.
I was thinking the same thing. Never heard of a sidewinder bullet that consistently hits as 300 yards. Would be good for shooting around trees.
if its dead on at 3 then it
has to deader oner at 1 and 2!
And X2!
Depends on the type of bullet your shooting and the rate of twist in your barrel. That's why I say you can have a hell of a load at 3000 that won't group inside a diameter of a basketball at 100.
Quit while your behind. I know nothing about ballistics and know that's a load of shit. A bullet can't be off 6" and 100 yards and dead in at 300.
I'm talking about shooting groups not precision shooting.
Me too. If a bullet has a 1" group at 300 yards it will have <1" group at 100 yards. That's just common seance. Bullets don't spin in circles they magically find the spot at 300 yards.
So your telling me that if a 5 bullets group into 1" at 100 that it'll do that at 500? Or 1000? Hell no.
No. I'm telling you the opposite. If they group 1" at 500, then they will group better than 1" at 100.
Not necessarily. Take a boat tail bullet for example like a scenar. Sometimes it won't have stabilized enough to fly "straight" so to speak so at 100 it might be flying crooked. That can make a 3-4 inch group or more. Now it gets too about 250, half it's way to 500, and it starts stabilizing completely, flying "straight", and when it reaches 500, it puts 3 into 3.5", get what I'm saying?
