    Thanks for the idea Sneeze,

    I only validated the 'Summer' speed out to 550yds- is that enough??

    Last weekend I tested at 400yds, 600yds, 800yds and 1000yds. Only shot 5 rounds per distance. But it held sub 0.75 out to 400, and sub 1.0 beyond that (a lot of good fortune involved at 800 and 1000 though ). So I would've thought that was a pretty good sample?

    Keen to hear your thoughts.
