If memory serves, he was shooting 50gr at 25 yards to represent speeds at 120+ yards with NORMAL loads. Basically he was showing the longer range shooters how performance levels of various bullets were lower than most expected with a LOT of bullets out there. Most of my problems with bullets have been poor performance at close range (bullet breaking up without good penetration) since the vast majority of my shots are within 75 yards. BUT I do get the occasional shot out to 150 yards so I load for that. So my requirement for a bullet is performance at BOTH short and longer range.
