[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 683619, member: 28191"] So it would be wrong to test the accuracy claims of only one rifle manufacturer? It would be wrong to test the BC claims of only one new line of bullets? It would be wrong to test the friction reducing claims of only one lubricant? It would be wrong to measure the MPG of only one make of hybrid auto? To my knowledge, only the Extreme line of rifle powders makes claims regarding lot to lot consistency. Similarly, to my knowledge, only one major bullet maker makes claims regarding the weight consistency of its bullets. Was it wrong to focus our paper comparing the actual measurements on bullets from that manufacturer? See: [url]http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA555976[/url] Is there some kind of "fairness" rule that when testing a marketing claim, one needs to include multiple brands? What if the other brands do not make any claims? To my knowledge, Hodgdon Extreme powders are the only powders specifically chosen for US Sniper applications, and are usually the first powders looked at for long range law enforcement and military applications. These people care more about whether Hodgdon powders live up to the marketing claims than about the powders that make no such claims. [/QUOTE]
