Just got back awhile ago from the range, was testing some proven loads at 300 yards. After retrieving my targets, I was shocked at this one that was supposed to have 2 groups of 7 each of the same load, but it only had 2 groups of 4 each, 3 rounds from each group must have disintegrated. Wow, this is from my 243, with a 1 in 8 twist 26 inch barrel, the velocity of the rounds were 3522fps.
Does the rpm of a bullet slow down with distance? I would have thought so.
I have shot these dozens of times, but only at 100 and 200 yards, and they shot great, in fact one of my favorite bullets for this gun. But if they are going to disintegrate occasionally after 200 yards, then I might have to not use them any more.
These are 80 grain Berger FB varmint bullets, with RL15, 40 grains, coal of 2.700.
Any suggestions?
