Posting load Data

[scope eye]

OK here we go any of the 35 or 36gr bullets, as long as there flat based, a compressed load of RL15 or Varget that's 48gr, I can get there with the 40s but that's hot real hot, and believe me it has got to be hot, for me to cry uncle, that's out of a 16twist 26" barrel, I get numbers close to that with my 22-250AI
that's a 14twist 26" barrel, sometimes a certain batch of powder won't let me reach that number, and a few times I have had to back off that load.

OK as far as wind goes, the time of flight is so minimal that the bullet does not have time to deviate, and even if it did it is charging the wind so aggressively, it just doesn't, or nothing to speak of anyways.

The less time a bullet spends in the wind, the less it can be affected by the wind.

Actually at 500 yards, a 35 gr. bullet will have plenty of time to deviate, and real fast! A 35 gr. bullet at 5,000 fps will have more than three times the wind drift as a 105 Hybrid at 3,000 fps. There is no way around it.

Like I said earlier, fast light bullets and long range don't mix.

I never really have any issues with wind drift, Mind you I am always surrounded by trees hills or mountains, I am sure it is a different scenario in they open plains, realistically most of my shots are 200 to 300 yards so it is never an issue for me anyways.

A comparison of your 220 Swift data to the Berger and Sierra manual for a 40 GR bullet. Your data doesn't make sense. You appear to be about 8 grains over published max loads. Your also about 900 fts over what other people get. Even if your data is correct why would you need ridiculous speeds to shoot out to 300 yards max. All you are doing is eliminating barrel life. I have never missed a GH out to 350 yrds. with my 6BR at 3350 fps. Read the post reloading for other people. If you reload for anyone other than yourself you are financially responsible for any damage or injury to people or property caused by your reloads. If someone loses an eye you could be sued for hundred's of thousands of dollars.

Wt. FPS
Varget (Berger Data) 40.0 4099
Varget (Sierra Data) 40.5 4083
RE-15 (Berger Data) 40.0 4000
RE-15 Sierra Data 40.5 4100
Varget (your data) 48.0 5000
RE-15 (your data) 48.0 5000

Ok First off I did not say every load I shoot is that load, and are these loads shot out of a 26" 16 twist, I don't think you are aware that the same load out of a 16 twist barrel, will be several hundred fps in itself over a 10 or 12 twist, and most data is always based on a 22 or 24 inch barrel unless noted, so like I said add barrel length, barrel twist, and hot load it all adds up, my staple load is more like 45 or 46gr of powder with a 40gr Vmax and like I also said I don't regularly practice the 48gr powder 40gr bullet load it is even to hot for me, I just did it to see if it could be done, "please don't miss quote me" and thanks for the warning, but I am fully aware of they implications of reloading for others, and as far as why I load like this it's because I can, and also it is very exhilarating to shoot, and just like everyone else who had there minds made up before trying it, who changed there view on the spot, and besides I don't like shooting varmints I like vaporizing varmints, this post is submitted in all due respect.

Just an FYI it costs $100.00 to send a barrel back and have it rethroated, and the way my barrels are profiled I can do this 3 or 4 times so I will be fine, I figure it cost me about 10% faster barrel life wear to load like that.

I am sure the numbers are on the side of the 105s but that's not a fair comparison taking the smallest 22cal bullet and comparing it to one of the largest 6mm bullet available, I am sure one one of those 7mm High BC bullets would make that 6mm 105gr look marginal,

You are missing the point, the OP said a 35 gr. bullet at 5,000 fps gets to the target so fast that wind has no time to deviate it, I was simply stating the facts about a slower bullet with high BC.

My point is that for less wind drift you are better off with a heavy high BC bullet going at average speeds than with a light low BC bullet going super fast.

OK got it, I have shot both ends of the spectrum, and I have found the lighter ones are just more fun to shoot ;D

It's because wind drift isn't about TIME OF FLIGHT in wind. It's about TIME LAG in wind.
But that's another thread

Coriolis effects bullet drop at 1000 yards, How much Do the "lasers" change impact from east to west at 1000y?

Here is a simple test I did. With my Dasher 30'' 105 Hybrid 3105 FPS
Hornady 87g v max 3420 FPS
Both were hitting close to the same at 575yd. I put my setting in for the Hybrids at 1000yd and hit the 8'' gong . I then took the 87gr and shot with the same setting as I had with the 105 .I never see the impact. The next one I aimed 4' low still nothing. The next 4' high Bingo a impact 1' low that is a total of 5' difference with 475 yd. I then went back to 575 yd and put it on paper.
the Hybrids were 7'' higher then the 87gr. Larry
