The "going to sleep" line is another.Personally, as your question marks seem to indicate I'm also a little sceptical..
I fail to see how anything banging along minding it's own business pointing in the wrong direction at 100yrds is sudenly going to sprout stablizers and zoom in on a Wallaby 650yrds away across a gully.
Might happen though, Whaddya reckon.

It's a real phenomenon that a rifle can occasionally shoot tighter groups (in terms of angular dispersion) at longer ranges than shorter, but it's not due to the bullet "settling down" or "going to sleep" as is commonly claimed, more likely to be related to mental state of shooter, parallax issues or similar.

You can read this or just take my word for it



Also you could try a greater range of seating depth than the .015" difference you've tried so far with the 140gr. No idea about the velocity spread.

See how those 130gr Bergers go.
