Accuracy first, cost second, but I do expect a certain speed. Even if I get accuracy, but 250-300fps slower then I should, I keep looking.
I had a 7mmstw, that could only get 2900fps with 7828 and 160gr pill. If I wanted that I would just get a 7mmremmag. So I kept looking and found what I want. Thats the fun on reloading, sooner or later, you can have best of both worlds with the right combo.
It cracks me up. I seen lots of guys say they didn't care what speed their load got. I break out the chrono, and I see them go home disappointed looking for some more.
