The Berger Bullet is a prime example. It is designed for long range target and hunting. So it starts at a minimum load, that provides a velocity suitable for the designed range. Anything below that is useless information. You are testing 4 bullets. What is the end goal for each of these bullets ? It is of no value to find a tight node on the low end, only to find it does not provide enough velocity at range. The further out we go, the more velocity we need at the beginning to overcome the WIND. This is why You have been asked, What is You end goal ?
