Not interested in velocity

As I said, 6BR is a great cartridge and so is the 47! Don't get me wrong, Terry Brady could haul his 6BR anywhere in the world and finish good. However, its been a long time since I have seen 6's on the line in NM and West Texas. From 500 to 1000 it's pretty well dominated by 7's and 30's mainly due to wind as stated. I have a 10tw 6BR rifle that shoots 90 gr Berger vld's in the .1's and .2's all day. I'm in the camp that says if you had most PPC shooters put as much work into the BR as they have the PPC, you might find that it could be competitive. Many local guys I know who are very competitive shooters are looking into this very thing. I own a PPC that shoots Tucker 68 gr BT really well, but my BR runs right with it. At 530 yds I split duty between the 6.5 x 47 and 6.5 x 284 mainly due to wind, consistency, recoil and having a bad neck and shoulder. If I could handle recoil of 300WSM, I would be shooting one.

Velocity determines trajectory, which determine accuracy at distance (group size)

If gravity wasn't a "thing," and bullets didn't drop over distance, then 28 fpswould be the same as 2800 fps.

But.... it is and they do.

Now... once you determine velocity and can predict trajectory over distance, then no, it doesn't really matter. If all you do is shoot exactly 600 yards, then ...right....who cares? But... Velocity is *very* important in PRS matches, which fires over numerous known and unknown distances in a single match. It drives match scores.

Alot of the velocity conversation is just "bigger johnson" stuff.... bragging rights over how fast my bullets go, and how often I get to replace barrels, making me one of the cool kids. Some of it is the preference of a flatter shooter over longer distance.

Or am I missing something in the question here?

"Velocity determines trajectory"

Velocity is ONE of the things that determine trajectory.

Everything else you say is wrong.
