If the threshold is entirely exterior ballistics how can it be "moved" by changing powder speed or alloy?
You state that the threshold isn't a limit but rather a point where accuracy becomes more difficult to attain. If the threshold is entirely external ballistics then wouldn't it be a hard limit?
I think alloy, pressure curve, and bullet design all have a huge role to play in accuracy at higher velocities. It is about finding balance within a system of variables.
Thus those RPM threshold figures are not hard and fast as some things like a too soft alloy or too fast a powder can lower the threshold. Conversely, other things like a harder alloy or a slow burning powder can raise the threshold.
