[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1909235, member: 87887"] I had a puzzling experience with a rifle and a couple of bullet combinations that defied my understanding and someone here helped me out. I would have expected the two Elite Hunters to have similar changes in jump due to similar profiles. A couple questions, Did you do this initial testing on a new unfired barrel and in this order? Perhaps a burr or chip from chambering caused an error on your first measurement on the 156 EH. Was this your first attempt at this method and your getting better/more consistent in your technique. Different bullet profiles will engage the leade at different points and as the throat and leade erode, the shape of that engagement surface may change some, causing various results, but with such a large variation on one and not on the other of similar profiles seems to point to a measuring error, no matter the cause.
