This is a very interesting thread!! IMHO!! I'd like to throw something on the table though if I may! Some time back, a gentleman that is more educated at this than I stated that he likes to test his recipe's groups at 200yrds. This made sense because out of my particular Grendel, 120 NBT group sub-moa all day, but, I took that same load and hurl it at the 300 yrd mark and groups went between 5-7 inches. That was very disappointing! I put the 123 A-max's in front of some 2520 and they shot just as well as the 120s at 100 yrds but turned in sub-moa groups at 300 yrds, that was pleasant to see. Now that I have gotten a couple of whitetails to take a dirt nap at over 400 yrds with that load, I do agree with the 200yrd test groupings. Everything that I load for my rifles and my buddies' rifles get tested at the 200yrd mark.
This just my .02 worth~
