Approximate muzzle velocity of 1,200fps ? ....... Kind of confusing at times........
Things would be less confusing if you would quit posting incorrect information. :mrgreen: Speeds i post are measured at the horse i.e. 25 yard.
They might be less confusing if one post didn't state one velocity and the next post a different velocity with the same bullet and charge. :mrgreen:
Hey, I appreciate your dedication and hard work you do with your method of testing. You are consistent with the materials you use with every bullet you attempt to test. However, I also have the opinion, like and as others have previously mentioned, even some that lurk in the shadows, that some tests are flawed.
I'm not here or making posts or statements because I want to be an enemy, but rather that I have concerns that some tests are flawed. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But if I have concerns that something isn't totally right, I'm going to question it. If that makes me the bad guy, then so be it.
Its one thing for those who use ballistics calculators all the time, another for those who think they know how, but I have more concern for those who don't understand it at all. Those hunters/shooters can be easily swayed by testing that is performed like no bullet manufacturer, or actual bullet testers perform. Some of the regulars may know or understand that you're shooting a much reduced charge to simulate distance, and what that distance might be, but at the same time, there could be a couple dozen non-members reading and not understanding. They should have all the information available to them, that always indicates the muzzle velocity of the much reduced hunting charge, where they can compare it to their own or the most common hunting charge velocities.
I just have differing opinions and don't always flow with the status quo. A couple worship these tests as a god, when others feel, or recognize, there are flaws.
