[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1017099, member: 14053"] I don't believe it is parallax or aiming better that causes it. If you take a 90 pound 1000 yard heavy gun that runs on rails and tracks 100 percent. You do not move the gun so that takes aiming and parallax out of the picture. A 100 pound Dasher with a brake doesn't move. I make all my test targets with a cross drawn on the paper with a small dot in the middle. I line up the crosshairs on the lines so that also takes aiming finer at a distance out of the picture. Then you have the machine rest guns like they shoot in PPC or in the Sierra bullets tunnel. A ballistician from Sierra told me that there 6.5 142 grain bullet was their fastest settling bullet. He also said some were just barely or not quite settled at 300 in the tunnel. I bet high speed photography would show this. I know this one match shooter that said he had this old guy that would take him to this spot at a certain time of day and he would shoot uphill and the guy would tell him if the load would work. He did this a couple of times and it always shoot good when the guy told him that load would work. One day he asked him what he saw or was looking at. The old guy told him he could see the end of the bullet and tell if it was corkscrewing or not. Matt [/QUOTE]
