[QUOTE="jc5420, post: 2788704, member: 16425"] I will start off by stating that up until the past few weeks my "NEW" barrel was shooting slower at 2690 fps with an extreme spread averaging 9-10 fps every time I checked. (which is often) This load has proved extremely accurate to 1300 yards and has given me no issues. Shooting a match last month and I was targets that I should not have missed, so I altered my data to show an increase in velocity of about 10fps which did not help at all. Finally had a chance to chrono the load which showed a velocity increase to 2725 average. My extreme spreads are no longer hovering around the single digits after this increase in velocity. So today I decided to shoot 600 yards at paper to determine what the projectiles might be printing down range and I am happy with the results, but I cannot help feeling that they may fall apart even more when reaching 1000-1400y. Here is the target from today. I was not shooting for wind, only for the vertical spread.
