Going Back To Where I Started........... Kinda

Ok Bean, we need a velocity pool!! I am in with
5,097!!!

Is the velocity the sole criteria?

I think we need to hit the target!

It sounds like you are running into dynamic stability issues. At some point there is a max vel where a bullet will become unstable and start tumbling. Takes a degree in rocket science to understand this stuff and I don't think they do either. They have to try it and see what happens just like the rest of us.

Ever try sticking the bullet in backwards? Put the heavy end forward should solve stability problems. Still Might not shoot great.

Will probably shoot better than we all think.

No Sir

Gentlemen, I had an old friend that would put the bullets in backwards to shoot turkeys in the South Dakota Black Hills. He said the bullets would not tear them up as much but the were not very accurate beyond about 100 yards. Also he had to load them down by about 10 % of his standard load.

No Sir

I knew it wouldn't be for you, I was asking about the rules for @Muddyboots pool LOL!

@pickens72 not sure if I missed it but what case and bullet are you using?

In the Pool at 5017, cause I got faith lol

I have an exact scientific method formula that tells me 5097 is gonna be it. So my question is, have you been lookin at my notes or did you just have a lucky guess?

Guessing going through multiple Mach numbers introduces disturbances? Most rifle shooting happens in the Mach 2-3 window (~2200-3300 fps) with some documented disturbances in the transonic to subsonic regions around Mach 1.2 (~1300 fps and less). Pushing into the Mach 4 window (~4400 fps+) usually requires a pretty light (draggy) bullet. Running a 51g AH at 4800 looks to be pushing it into that Mach 4 window right at 100 yards where most folks would be doing their accuracy test.
