She is more into cars. That's why she has a Shelby GT350. She's happy. I definitely got that for "her" :eek:)

They were certainly an excellent design for their time but I personally have no interest in owning a heavy, not easily concealed single action pistol that holds 7+1. They have the best break on any trigger at the range but I'd never carry one. I'm far more into modern pistols.

In my defense, I started with 1911s before the internet. No one told us they were too heavy or big to carry concealed so here I am 50 years later.

Over the past several years I competed with a Sig for the capacity. Shot just enough to maintain proficiency with 1911s. Just for grins last week I set up a mini stage (12 rounds) and ran it five times each with a Sig and my carry 1911. Almost 0.5 second faster average with the archaic overweight fudd gun.

While this is kinda fun, it's probably more true than most people will know...

Typical match bullets (all brands included) show roughly 5-15% ES on net drag across the recorded Mach regime. Drag variability induced by the weight variation in this topic is on the order of 0.5% in the worst case (lightest vs. heaviest). It also doesn't affect MV proportionally to the weight variation.

For example, 0.5gr spread 30x each light and heavy for a 109gr bullet resulted in a 0.3fps velocity difference when tested.

Obviously if you fuck it up bad enough you can have weight variation cause problems, but for the most part what you see is well under 1% ES and it doesn't really manifest itself into anything that other factors don't already outweigh by orders of magnitude for down-range hit probability. YMMV, JME/JMO yada yada.

Why does the product Hornady makes to directly compete with the Berger product does not pass the acid test on the field then?

I know you posted this a few months ago but since it got revived… as a engineer of 6 years at hornady you should be able to put your finger on the actual backend problem if the easy to id problem of weigh is not it.

Why a Berger “reddit” load plugs in and is accurate at 105 yds, and shoots watermark at 6-950yds off the chrono almost every single time but thats extreme luck with Hornady?

Here a thought, what if really good shooters argue they cant shoot a difference because they shoot a bullet that after making the correct change in hold, the bullets just…go somewhere else?

Well it would, considering the author is summarizing the essay by bookbinder in his opening paragraph so that the reader knows what’s being addressed. And guess what? That’s exactly what most so-called AI programs actually do. We covered that earlier in the thread.

Of course, it could well be that that summary paragraph was AI generated. I’m not convinced though.
