paulWTAMU wrote:You are correct. Both of those are major factors. Also consider that at 1000 yards, the bullet is subsonic. The transition from supersonic to subsonic will destroy your accuracy.I'd have thought wind drift would be a bear not to mention the lack of energy left at that range. Weird.
I might be able to move up to a heavier bullet than the 54.1g stuff I have laying around. But I'll have to check the barrel twist first. My research says you need to spin 'em pretty fast to keep the bigger bullets stable at the longer ranges. I don't even know the twist rate on this barrel yet.
