Wow, I've always wondered why they had the markings on the right and not a selector -- thanks for sharing.

How does higher velocity hurt marksman rifles?
- int_19h 8y ago> How does higher velocity hurt marksman rifles? It doesn't hurt it directly, but it's a trade-off between velocity and weight, which affects ballistic coefficient (heavier bullet in the same caliber -> higher sectional density -> higher BC). And the longer the distance, the more BC matters, because it affects the bullet for as long as it's in flight, while the initial muzzle velocity boost from a lighter bullet is one-off. Past a certain range, the lighter bullet that was initially faster will end up slower, all else being equal. You can drive heavier bullets faster with more case capacity for the powder. But if you have a larger case, you can use it to seat a longer/heavier higher-BC bullet instead of putting in more powder, so it doesn't really change the equation.
