[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2720328, member: 116181"] Yup. Just last week I shot a 0.75" group at 100 yards - it was 11 shots, charge weights laddered up by 10 grains, and the ES was 262 FPS. The first 9 shots were under half an inch, I really blew up the group on the last two shots 🤣 I shot another powder that was about 1", and a second that was awful, almost 2". Guess which one I'm working with? Yes, massively different charge loads will shoot together at 100 yards. Short range benchrest shooters are able to load with a volumetric charge drop at the bench instead of an uber-fancy lab balance weighing to the 0.01gn/ half a kernel of powder because velocity just pretty much doesn't matter for precision close in - the inherent precision of the system matters a whole lot more.
