G'day Belly

I was hoping you would weigh in on this.  From what I have read everyone seems to talk about 3 "nodes" for the  BRX.  The lower being around the velocities achieved with 32.4-.6, the high getting up around the 3080 fps. I'm not at all interested in this one, as you have mentioned it really seems to knock the cases and the barrel around.  From what I have been able to find, the middle node seems to be a good compromise between good barrel life, accuracy and it takes advantage of the extra speed you can achieve with an improved cartridge over the standard 6BR.   I think you hit the nail on the head, if I can achieve a consistent velocity between 2985 - 3000,  I think this thing should shoot pretty good.  Now that raises another question. What is considered the max extreme spread you should be trying to achieve over a 5-10 shot group. I realise 5 fps would be fantastic and maybe achievable but is that realistic or would 15 fps be what you would want to achieve?

Thanks
