    Question on Lapua performance differences

    Headspace? It's important? As I understand it, headspace is a set it and forget it. Rim thickness is not a constant, due to the method of manufacture. It varies over time due to changes in tolerances on the assembly line. There is a minimum and maximum dimension and as long as it fits within...

    CCI pistol match

    Now, now RT. I said that groups lie "to me". :sneaky: Tiny groups and bugholes I can do. As you said, environmental shifts and velocity patterns, caused my groups to wander relative to point of aim. So after shooting 10 five shot groups, averaging 0.27 inches, I build the 50 shot aggregate and...

    CCI pistol match

    I don't shoot groups for proof of accuracy. Groups lie to me. Makes me look like I am doing better than I am. Groups wander relative to point of aim. Actual target aggregate group size is 2 or 3 times average group size. For that reason, shooting for score is my method of conparing accuracy. For...

    CCI pistol match

    Dead Eye, contact CCI and ask about lot grading. I did. They test for function. Does it go bang? They test for safety. Is chamber pressure okay? Not like Tenex, Match or Team. Not like X-Act, Midas+ or CenterX. Not like R50, Rifle Match or Target.

    CCI pistol match

    Sadly, it's not about label preferences. Nor is it about brand preference either. Such thinking indicates a lack of understanding of the process of manufacturing rimfire ammunition. Facts to remember: No rifle can fix poorly made ammunition. No ammunition can fix a poorly made rifle. No two...

    Extreme Spread

    Small sample sizes lead to incorrect conclusions. I shot 10 cartridges at 50 yards, 3/4 inch group. I shot 10 more cartridges at 100 yards, 1 inch group. Better moa at 100 yards. Suppose you sent 50 shots at 50 yards, then 50 shots at 100 yards? Do you think it'd hold up? 5 times larger...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    I don't believe that ammunition can fix a rifle with issues. Also, no rifle can fix ammunition that has issues. Uniformly well made cartridges, with tight muzzle velocities, will produce the best results from any well built rifle. If it produced admirable results from one of my rifles, it will...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    I can produce small 5 shot groups. Maintain a single point of aim for 5 shots, in less than 3 minutes. My problem is that each 5 shot group is centered in a slightly different location, relative to the same aimpoint. By the completion of 10 groups, build the aggregate, now I'm looking at a total...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    To obtain a fairly accurate calculation of spread based on results at 50 yards: double the distance gives triple the spread. So 0.2 at 50 yards, expect 0.6 at 100 yards and 1.8 inches at 200 yards for 5 consecutive shots. With 0.4 inches at 50 yards, 1.2 inches at 100 yards and 3.6 inches at...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    I find that cartridge quality is my problem, not the rifle. My expectations are: center to center measurement shooting off the bench 0.4 inches at 50 yards 1.3 inches at 100 yards 4 inches at 200 yards That'd be an entire box of cartridges, 22lr, on a really good day, with extremely good...

    Not my fault. Just looking at historic restoration pics. The caption was like deja vu all over again. :oops:
