Now I'm not complaining and I'm not very surprised but It just shouldn't be.
I loaded some 22/250 with Varget and a 60 gr Partition for antelope and wolf. I didn't like the way they worked on "LOPE" so I'll save them for wolf. Here is the thing. I just switched to a Varget and a 52 gr Berger bullet load that I'll use for coyote . I went out and dialed the 52's in a dead zero and a about an inch at 200 yards off my coyote sticks. I was wandering how the 60's would print so I would not have to re sight for them. I shot the same , 200 yards off sticks and still shot a dead zero and a 1.2" group, SAME as the 52's. I would have to get off my but and look at the published speed, which I didn't, but I know there is a good difference. I didn't try them at 100 but would bet the 60's shoot higher then the 52's and the added weight is making them keep up with the 52's at 200. Maybe they would be shooting HIGHER then the 52's at 400 yards, don't know. I hate shooting over 200 by my self it eats up all my limited time just walking out and looking. ANYWAY I will not hesitate to feed in a 60 if I get a shot at Mr. wolf around the 200 yard mark that's for sure

some guns print the same for  two different loads.

First one I saw was a rem 760 shot identical at 200 yards with 150gr 308s and 180gr 308, both in less than 1 " with 5 of each.

My 416 mag shoots the 350 grains and the 400 grain soft point and the 400 grain FMG into the same 1" all day long.

It's not common for a gun to do that, but not all that rare either.  However, you should realize that the two loads are separating rather rapidly after the common point.

Yup!
Like the 300 gr load I shoot in my 45/70. They start out at 2500 fps and my 400 start under 1900.
At 500 yards the 400's will hit the target first if shot at the same time...

sometimes this can be the result of barrel harmonics.  different weight/velocity bullet will cause the barrel to vibrate upward more.
