Barrel length?
26" Hawk Hill
I personally went with the slower one. Mine is 2870 but less recoil and can see trace better. Plus not as hard on the barrel.
It's interesting to see the results play out on WEZ.. This doesn't go to 2950fps, but it shows the difference in 75fps from 2875 to 2800.
The probability played out mathematically equates to about 1 miss per 100 shots on a 1.5moa target at 700 yards with a plus or minus in the wind call of 2.5mph. It goes up to 2 misses per 100 shots on a 2moa target at 1000 yards.
So the question is, does the ability to sometimes be able to spot your trace offset the miss probability you incur by slowing down the round...
Edit; And I should add, does the .6 to .8 grains needed to get from 2870 to 2950fps really noticeable in felt recoil? We are talking a 2% increase in charge weight. Can a person feel that?
