[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1017513, member: 7848"] benchracer, Good thinking about the .50 cal guys. You're right that many of the observations come from this crowd so I'll be making contact with someone there. tom, The sharpie mark will stay on a bullet as it passes thru multiple sheets of paper. I've done that for another kind of test (measuring bullet twist rate down range by shooting thru multiple papers). In the book: "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting", you can read about one example of a test I did with two different rifles and a shoot thru target (200 to 1000 yards), but that test was to verify bullet drop predictions. Each of those shots was chronographed, and the faster ones hit higher at long range, as predicted. This test used people in the pits spotting shots (not a sharpie). Canadian, The scope I used in the 375 CheyTac test posted on page 3 was also a NightForce 56mm objective, but it was a 5-25 ATACR. I wonder if it's related to the large objective and/or 30mm tube...? -Bryan [/QUOTE]
