[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1041789, member: 10755"] Unfortunately, low ES/SD's aren't the full picture, because they may be stable in velocity, but will have different exit points in the whip of the barrel. Low ES/SD's don't guarantee an accurate result on target. I recall having an ES over 100fps in my 25-06 shooting 75gr HP's, but it printed little itty bitty groups, in fact it could shoot better than I could in the field. I always go with the load that shoots the smallest groups and tune from there, even if the chrony results prove not optimal. Rifles are a world unto themselves, no body has all the answers, as yet.
