[QUOTE="Jeff Walker, post: 486747, member: 1818"] Things can happen, stuff is different... Years ago I had a steel target ( nothing expensive or fancy, don't even know what kind of steel it was ) shot at it all the time with a .223. Nice grey splats until one day I bought a .17 HMR, almost ( but not quite ) went right through ! I had a 1000yd HG in a wildcat caliber that a certain gunsmith is known for. According to the gunsmith, I should have been shooting 4 to 6 more grains of powder than what I was. I couldn't because if I went up any it showed signs of pressure, plus I was nearly at the speed intended anyway. I heard about Oliver's hole punching at the match, not just by Oliver, but by two other people as well...it happened, there's no disputing that. His chrono wrong ? The steel not ar500 ? Mercury aligned with Mars ? Don't know, doesn't change the fact. [/QUOTE]
