I don’t recall me saying that it was right.
What I’m trying to do is actually get out there and put rounds down range to come to conclusions.
And I disagree about the velocity being irrelevant. Most of the prs shooters out there today have went to doing a 10 shot load development and use nothing but velocity.
What they look for is those plateaus in velocity where you can load within a half grain of powder and the velocity stays the same.
I have no doubt there are ways to tune a barrel but I believe when shooting cast bullets alloy,engraving pressure, case fill, and and bullet fit outweigh anything else you can do. And the only way to draw these conclusions is to get out there and try different stuff. If I wasn’t stuck at work every day I would be shooting 100’s of rounds a week to acquire more knowledge.
