Same gun, bullet, load.
270 win. 139 gr absolute hammer.
All I have is a torch and drill and my eyeballs to gauge annealing.
I measured everything and did everything the exact same in each test, EXCEPT for one batch annealed vs a non- annealed batch.
While shooting i alternated shots so as to try and make it as comparable as possible. First 3 tests were 5-7 shots each. Last test was 10 each.
All tests were 250-275 yards. Wind under 5mph.
Test 1-3 once fired nosler brass. Test 4 once fired peterson brass. Nosler brass is garbage and more than a few primer pockets are shot.
Runout, ES, was all fairly similar and I couldn't correlate anything else. But accuracy is 4 for 4 annealed winning by a decent margin.
I'm going to continue testing, but would love to see other guys add their findings.
Here's my targets tonight from test 4. All ten of each were counted. No funny business.
