Tbone, I pretty much agree with everything you said. I load for acuracy first, speed second. Accuracy trumps speed in my book. But I was geting both from factory loadings. And it seemed that my .5 moa was average, I had several .25-.3 groups when I had a good day(less coffee). Lol. It may be that a 50gr may actually shoot alittle better at 3800 or 3850 fps. I just know that a factory load at .5 all day was good, and was wanting to bracket that speed and see where the best was before I played with OAL. But, I also knew that it was gonna be tough to get that velo. Kinda just kicking the pig around and asking for advice from more experienced guys like yourself, Heck, I may even try 52 gr amax too. I have some 52 bergers FB but the BC is soooo low! I havent tried those yet.
It was also a very correct statement about the temp and humidity swings here in KY. Prolly gonna stick with temp insensative powder.
Thanks Mbay, I will prolly give that a go! I looked at 8208 more than once! I just gotta go find some now!
