Fhp490,
That was a great post. The greenhill formula is the most accurate I've seen. As you pointed out is does not take into account speed, or harmonics, or some of the frictional components.
I have one 1:12 barrel (Schnieder 24") that when a 175 grn SMK is pushed at 2730 it shoots as tight as any 168 grn does (100-600 yrds). I don't run 168's past 600 yrds, 600 and beyond I use 175 SMK's. Yes, the Bergers did not stabilize as well as the SMK's in 1:12.
Techspec:
As to the Savage 1:10 for 600-1000 yrds, I wouldn't be shooting a 168 grn, switch to the 175 SMK, you will have much better results with the wind. The 175 SMK will like the 1:10 even better. The Savage generally will give you the best accuracy out of the box, with Fed Gold Medal Match or Black Hills ammo you will smile.
