Going Transonic
We all know the dogma. When a bullet goes transonic, accuracy goes away.
Has anyone actually experienced this? I'm wondering if groups from 240 SMKs loaded to 1050fps would suddenly explode in size if the same round was pushed to 1200fps, clearly faster than sound.
Or would the bullet just switch to whisper mode and continue along its merry way because it is not a Bell X1?
I'm just thinking ahead for a flatter trajectory to knock down rams on the 500 meter line. Maybe transonic loads could work for heavy bullets. Or maybe the bullet just decides to fly off in a random direction as the mean aerodynamic center changes during the transonic phase of flight.
