[QUOTE="kopcicle, post: 2858412, member: 127100"] I did/have tested this but the test platform was a uniquely accurate FN-FAL. Although affected by various commercial ammunition, once fired, neck sized and shoulder bumped loads held a consistent water line through several tenths of grains of powder and seating depths. In short, if loaded for the rifle, vertical stringing was near non-existent. The usual general dispersion of the tilting bolt lock up however did apply. It wasn't much of a sample size and verification was a mix of targets placed at the odd distances as well as extrapolation via digital caliper conformation at conventional distances. Still nothing I saw dispelled the above crude hypothesis. Thank You for the reply in any case. This thought when shared on the interwebz usually falls on deaf ears. [USER=127134]@RichCoyle[/USER] , Just curious. When attempting to explain sighting in for a 3" , 4" , 5" MPBR to a shooter that is fixated on a 100 yard, 200 yard, 300 yard zero, do you tend to run into "deer in headlights" , "why bother" , "makes no sense", "can't be done" , "not invented here" , "makes MOA, Mil, iron sights, useless" , kind of responses that I do? Asking for a friend. :p [/QUOTE]
