[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 872580, member: 28191"] I've judged and mentored lots of science fair projects and seen even more. The biggest challenge in a ballistics project is selecting a good independent variable, controlling all the other variables, and carefully measuring a good choice of dependent variable to test a testable hypothesis relating the independent and dependent variables. There are simply too many variables between handloads and factory loads. Your conclusions may only apply in the given rifle you have chosen. It takes a lot of care and consideration to design an experiment than can be executed in one rifle and yield results that will be broadly applicable in other rifles, even in other rifles with broadly the same characteristics (chambering, barrel length, twist rate, etc.) If you like, feel free to PM me and we can begin a private discussion of ideas. Projects I've mentored have done very well at regional and state fairs, with a number of 1st and 2nd place finishes. [/QUOTE]
