[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 1440885, member: 8358"] One think you don't mention is bullet. Some polymer tipped bullets suffer tip deformation during flight from friction heat, therefore the longer the air time the more deformation which affects accuracy. I tried Hornady SST bullets and thought they would yield better long range accuracy with their higher BC but was disappointed and switched back to the BTSP. I will say if your friend is using the same bullet in both loads that is surely not the variable he is looking for. I don't know why it won't hold it's accuracy further down range, but I think he should use what has worked in the past. I am a firm believer of the old adage " If it ain't broke don't fix it". But again, that is just me. FWIW [/QUOTE]
