Perhaps speed doesn't bring extra accuracy "as part of a package" (whatever that means ?)
But with all other factors being equal- isn't a fast bullet less prone to environmental factors ?
I can see how the benefit of an extra 50fps won't make much difference when we are talking about a 2800fps projectile. But when one bullet is exposed to the elements for literally half the time (2100fps WMR vs 1050fps 22LR) it must be a reasonable factor? Isn't that why long range shooting is so difficult? The bullet really slows down so the second 500m is much harder than the first 500....?
Very happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
