Only other factor that I thought might have influenced this was velocity measured at 24" was at the NZDA range in Upper Hutt, at 22" at the NZDA range Christchurch.

Measured velocity means zip unless its validated

Keeep 7mrm at 24 in get a 7mmo8 for bushpig just my opinion

I was always told speed isnt everything. Seems like everyone want to be up @3000fps

Speed certainly isn't everything, great consistency in accuracy should always be the primary objective, but if you can get near max possible velocity (for your cartridge/rifle package) while keeping that great accuracy then why would you not want the extra advantage from reduced windage and more terminal energy etc/extended useful range?
