No problem. I remembered reading that thread a while back. Wealth of information there. I'll go back and edit my original post so not to confuse new readers with incorrect information.
Here is the link. Lrgoodger is the poster with the best answers in it. Beyond that there is a lot of confusion.
Why are my ladder tests backwards (hotter loads hitting lower)?
In a perfect world where the barrel cannot move the faster velocity bullets would hit higher at any distance. Because more variables are involved it becomes more complicated than that. There are some posts on Accurate Shooter explaining it better than I ever could. I'll try to find a link and...
Mine is a 10 twist I had Jon Beanland do this year. Shooting groups at 300 with IMR8208 gets under 3/4" regularly with the best being a little over .400" and the worst a little over .800" using Berger 90BT. Varget is not as good in it and the stay hovering at 1". It's the most accurate gun I've...

Thanks
