[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1521045, member: 2736"] I can't believe I am commenting on this before I try to test this "theory" But some interesting comments have came from it. I prefer the practical application to any problem or theory. The equal and opposite reaction is true and not theory, "But" Equal is the catch 22. The average rifle weighs 8 pounds (56,000 grains) plus the mass of the shooter. A 150 grain bullet is many times lighter. (To early to do the math before coffee) The bullet velocity will be many, many times faster than the rifle velocity and the shooters shoulder in the opposite direction. So in reality the rifle doesn't move/recoil measurably before the bullet will exits the barrel. (This is the reason a muzzle brake must have .005 to .010 thousandths clearance all round for the bullet to pass through without touching anything. I have never tried less than .005 thousandths for clearance so I realy cant say if it moves at all before the bullet exits. So if we get less than 1 or 2 thousandths movement of the rifle, it doesn't make sense that velocity would change in any position. And I am not willing to restrain a rifle by placing it against a brick wall and firing it to find out. If there is a difference in velocity, why would it not change from a lead sled to a shoulder shot. The Magneto Speed would be perfect for this test because it attaches to the rifle and moves with it. I still think it is from ground effects from shock waves effecting the chronograph Just like the shock wave off the ground/floor that shows up in this video. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/bullet-shock-wave.211219/[/URL] It is interesting to talk about this theory, but I just cant believe that the position can effect velocity that much if any.
