Yes, and taking it to extremes... if you were to load a boulder in front of the true blue (provided the gun didn't blow up) it would drop REALLY fast coming out of the barrel.

Re: Point of Impact of 5.7x28 Ammo from FiveseveN

Correct me if I'm wrong. But it depends on what distance you're zeroed at. For example. Say you're zeroed at 50 yards. And then you fire at a closer range, say 25 yards. Then yes, what you're saying is true, the heavier, slower bullet will have a higher point of impact compared to the lighter faster...

I would love if 5.7 rounds came in a clip that could feed into a suitable speed loader for the mags. Just like 5.56 NATO. So I'd still say I could use a few clips of ammo.

Re: Case width issue with Lee dies

Gonra, you're hilarious. Love the third person speech. My RCBS dies are actually full length. Which is probably why I'm more around the .3112 mark and not .3110.

Well, the die sizes to .3120 .3125 and SOMETIMES to .3115 if that is what you mean by numbers, as far as .3125 I would say 20% .3120 50% and .3115 30%.... If you get the die to sit JUST RIGHT, that proportion may change, Hornady consistently sizes to .310-.311... I never had a case larger then .311...
