Dry fire pin

Be very cautious in dry firing too much without a separate dry firing pin. Using a spent round will work for a little while, but after some time it may not eject properly, and you'll have to use a cleaning rod to push the round out from the muzzle. Not using a spent round and you run the chance of &...

What literature is out there?

I'm working on an experimental design. First, I want to prove that there are statistically signifcant differences among group sizes between lots of the same top line of ammo that comes from the UK in a red box. Then, I'm trying to find the right methodology to find the optimum ammunition for a speci...

WOW!

Superb Job! I had never even considered bullet concentricity before. I've never put much credit into rim thickness or weight sorting, as too many other variables could affect the entire unit's weight. Very poigniant and insightful! What ammo tends to have the most consistent concentricity? So in you...

10 Air Increase size

You may want to try about a 4.2 or 4.4 in 10Meter Air. 3.2 is probably a little small, even for smallbore. A good rule I've learned from someone is to have about 50% of the bulls width in white around the target. This will seem big when you first start to shoot with it, but after a little while you'...

Glass is best!

I've experimented with several aperature types. Here are my thoughts. 1) Pink are okay, but anything tinted cuts down on the light coming through the front sight.. 2) Metal is good, but occupies a lot of the front sight 3) Glass, although much more expensive, is extremely crisp and doesn't fill much...

Ammunition Testing Metrics???

Greetings, Today I had a "randow thought while shaving". When we test ammo we normally make our selection based on average group size. Is this really the best method or is there a better method??? My theory is that you could define a way to weigh the erratic "flyers" more in the ...

5018 vs Kenyon

I own four triggers, one of them a Kenyon, one a FWB, and two Anschutz. Here is my analysis The Kenyon is by far the most crisp trigger I've ever shot. It's superb for the lightest trigger weight. However, I've also found there is a limit on how light the trigger should be. I like the Anschutz two s...
