[QUOTE="emn83, post: 790169, member: 41957"] [b]Re: test results help: UPDATE with seating depth[/b] took it out to 300 yards today, testing .050 and .070 off the lands. weather when I started was decent, but things got colder as I went, which may account for the second strings of shots being what they are. Conditions: Cloudy temp: 42 starting, dropped to35 while I was shooting Pressure: 30.06 humidity: 36% wind. varible 2-5 MPH from 7 o'clock Method: round robin, alternating back and forth between the 2 loads every shot to make two 3 shot groups. I then walked out and retreived the first target, posted the second, and then shot the second strings, reversing which load was fired first when alternating. String one: [IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/dinsmore83/string1stats_zps7c8bcbac.jpg[/IMG] String two: [IMG]http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/dinsmore83/string2stats_zps0809567a.jpg[/IMG] I am not sure why I got the big vertical spread on the second groups, I think I may have sped up my shooting because it was getting cold, I was taking notes between shots, but that's about it, there were no called fliers I also got decent chronograph data this time, here are those results: .050 off the lands: Average: 2918fps ES: 26fps SD: 10.55 .070 off the lands: Average: 2922fps ES: 57fps SD: 21.33 as usual, comments, questions, suggestions always welcome [/QUOTE]
