Fiver,hard to phrase this exactly how......

The techniques for velocity up into JB loads...... say anything over 2600. Are not going to hurt anything if you're only cruising at say 2000fps. Terminal ballistics aside.

I'm thinking it's similar to getting techniques developed to get zero run out on loaded rounds. Once you've established where in the loading process,runout goes to pot.... you fix that and pretty much live long and prosper. The "problem" in this case is easily defined and observed,"my ammo is wack(bent)"..... then go about identifying where it occurs,and so on.

So like having "too straight" of ammo isn't a bad thing...... having ammo set up for pushing 3000fps is going do do "what" for going along a little over half that?

that's the part where just the alloy comes into play.
your almost never wrong being a little on the harder side, unless your using a design that totally depends on the bullet actually moving and flowing as it moves forward.
then it [alloy] becomes dependent on the design features of the bullet, and not the other way around.

remember as I say this that BHN and alloy makeup are not always the same thing, and quite often a lower BHN with a higher alloy content is the correct way to go.

seems almost like I am contradicting myself, but I'm talking about 2 different designs and alloy flow patterns under pressures in the 40-50K area.
