    Okay lash, exposed genitalia description bolo? Porky's? Have you seen this prick remake? :oops:

    Alright, this has become borderline insanity. All I was trying to do was decide on a finish for an old end table I'm working on, and my brain saw this so I have to use it. It's y'all's fault. :sneaky:

    Don't blame me. I thought I was finished. Sometimes, they make themselves. She's already fitted for reins, eh? :sneaky:

    Weird Eley Match Lot#

    I've pondered the 20 fps difference in average MV. :unsure: I have a plausible explanation. Remember I commented on how management sets the specifications? That includes velocity range and acceptable spread on target. If the target results from batch testing fit the specifications, and there...

    Weird Eley Match Lot#

    The velocity differences aren't a surprise. When the factory labeling process is based on statical sampling, management establishes acceptable defect rates, defect levels, level of confidence to be applied to establish the sample size. Profit is job one, expense kept to a minimum, so 400 shots...

    Weird Eley Match Lot#

    Same lot number? 20 fps difference in average velocity? 1.8% of MV? At 50 yards the difference in poi would be about 0.14 inch of vertical. Edge of a 22 would still score the 10, right? I'd be happy to find a lot that had that small a variation in mv's. Unless it's spitting odd strays due to...

    .17 HMR - fps all over the place

    There are only 2 manufacturers of 17hmr cartridges, CCI and Winchester. Winchester gets relabeled as Browning, every other brand is relabeled CCI. Neither CCI or Winchester have the desire to decrease their profits by increasing quality control. Loose bullets, split necks, angled bullet seating...

    barrel twist/long range

    Shooting log. I record scope settings for conditions, cartridge and distance. At 100 yards plus, you can track projectile spiral by watching the compression wave lens and see the flight path, as the bullet approaches the target/backer. A visual distortion is created by the bullet interaction...

    Is there a # of rounds needed for a new 22 to possibily tighten up?

    Barrel wear is my current topic of interest. I've read all the articles and discussions I can find on line, and am documenting wear patterns occurring in a purchased new factory CZ 455 heavy barrel. Both Calfee and Litz observed that it can take over 4000 shots through the barrel before all the...

    SK S+ deviation / Rimfire

    Compare price per cartridge to rank SK cartridge quality. The lower the cost the less quality control is used. Esterline's comment is slightly out of sequence. I haven't been able to find SK Biathlon or Pistol Special for a while. That's why I didn't include them. :cautious:

    SK S+ deviation / Rimfire

    SK S+ is in the middle of the SK spectrum for quality. SK Magazine being the bottom, SK Semiauto next, with SK S + being 3rd from the bottom. Pistol Match, Rifle Match and Long Range being the top 3. Some boxes will produce better results than others. Welcome to the assembly line lottery. ;)

    22lr barrel

    According to emails from Eley, RWS and Lapua regarding factory batch grading test barrels, accuracy drops off at anywhere from 55,000 to 180,000 shots fired. The factories order replacement barrels regularly. The difference is related to the steel used in making the barrel. Softer stainless...

    22 LR weight feedback, does it helps or is a myth?

    The most effective method of sorting I've tried is a visual inspection for cartridge issues. When the cartridge shows asymmetry, dents, dings, chips, uneven crimp lines, sloppy seating and poor assembly, it's unlikely to produce consistent trajectories or be capable of punching center...
