    Transonic Cone Theory of Bullet Motion

    Going back to the first page I think as many have stated it looked worse than it really was , but what really threw me was that one minute there was a smooth laminar flow field and then there was not. I would like to know why if it was wind or the bullets which were fully qualified yet were...

    Transonic Cone Theory of Bullet Motion

    I agree , I don’t think anyone including me would just use one or two groups as any proof of anything especially trying to determine dispersion. Why people keep saying that shooters just use one or two groups is beyond me . No one does that. There are many groups over many days over many...

    Transonic Cone Theory of Bullet Motion

    Yaw cards have worked extremely well but I can not help but wander is there is a deflection possibility. Years later I used velocity drop from muzzle to target and using groups at the same time to confirm suspected random dispersion . When the muzzle dispersion is highest so is the velocity...

    Transonic Cone Theory of Bullet Motion

    The experiments I have done lately has been with known good quality bullets which does not mean much but by reducing any dispersion close to the muzzle definitely reduced it down range but as Jim Boatright mentioned it was much smaller than originally thought, in the case of a 190 SMK 30 cal has...

    Transonic Cone Theory of Bullet Motion

    That is so interesting , thank you . I wander if the larger variability at the muzzle were damped Mechanically, would that effect or improve the down range variability?

    Hornady on tuners.

    That is tougher , if you could find 3 lots at different speeds I would say change weights around until they hit level at the distance you normally shoot . Then use the movable weight to keep it there.

    Hornady on tuners.

    Exactly I agree , that is why plotting each shot is so important . When I speak of one shot it is not to find a node , it is to find a trend which can clearly be seen as to barrel movement . Those bullets should only be dropping a fraction of what is on the target , and 110 -114 is where the...

    Hornady on tuners.

    Yes I have , I don’t think the test structure was in question although I would have done it differently ( smaller increments ), It is the results that I am not sure how Brian came to the conclusion from those results . As well as it was later said as absolutes. Hornady claims that was just...

    Hornady on tuners.

    I certainly do not mean to detract from the Hornady guys , I shot with Joe Theilen and Christina Theilan and the team Hornady for years , loved hanging with them but I will defend what I do and how I do it to the bone period .

    Hornady on tuners.

    Dude again you have no clue . Please stop your ridiculous assumptions and slander . Do you really think that one gun is the only gun that is shot in seven years ? That is just one test . Get over it . you don’t even use tuners , yet you want everybody else’s data , tree Rex was told why his test...

    Hornady on tuners.

    I have to protect my companies proprietary data points for my weighting formulas so ……. I have already posted some data . And it was totally quiet and ignored. It it showed improvement over baseline with weight and adjustments .Not going to do that again just to have it ignored .

    Hornady on tuners.

    I think 5036 rds over the life of three barrels in 7 years on the same rifle with one tuner is plenty to tell me what I needed to know .Not to mention data on every caliber from 22 rimfire to 375 Cheytac .

    Hornady on tuners.

    Once the gun is settled from load work up and shoots good , 6 shots per ladder and repeat as many times that you feel you need to to see the trend when changing weights for each graph or ladder . The goal here with one shot per charge is to control barrel temp and to be the same on every ladder...
