    If you're talking using a ternary alloyed regular lubed cast bullet and you want "useable accuracy" (3 - 4 moa) beyond 100 yards then don't exceed 140,000 - 150,000 RPM.
    You "went there". Ruh roh, Reorge.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Technically, I think I went there when I told the OP that on another forum, sent him here and referred him to Mr. Gibson's excelllent writings on the subject.

    Larry lives there.

    You can usually run faster without coming apart by adding copper. There are a number of threads on the subject on this site.
