Just something to keep in mind. It is a heck of a lot easier to shoot a tight group at 100 than gets at 200 and harder still at 600 and 800 and 1000. I do my load workups at 100 for long range and I have yet to find a group that shoots good at 100 has not shoot well at 800. Now if that load were to go subsonic at 800 or 1000 it would be a different story. Also keep in mind I have only developed loads and for 3 calibers at 600 plus ranges so I am still in the learning phases

can't really figure out why a load that shoots 1.5 MOA at 100 would be a .5 MOA load at 800. Maybe someone has a theory on how that could happen
