[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 835088, member: 49861"] No keyholes, and I don't have the means to measure drag. I'm not and educated ballistitician, but I plan to run test, shooting 5 shoot groups at multiple targets placed out to 300 yards, targets lined up so they are shot simultaneously, record each shot on every target, and repeat the test as temperature changes and at different elevations. I intend to show that as air density increases, group size of a stability "compromised" projectile can increase at short range with little affect at long range. It's not the most scientific, but it may be all the effort I am willing to put forth when the solution would be as simple as choosing a proper twist/bullet combination. Now if I can duplicate the results?? I'll let you know. This may take a while. Sorry about the tangent, but as for the matter at hand, why did you choose a bullet so short in length? Why not a secant BT? [/QUOTE]
