[QUOTE="Docdad2, post: 1966366, member: 115302"] Good to hear directly from Paul. I would encourage most to read the article posted in the original post. Most of your questions were addressed in the article. Paul clarified that it was an EXHIBITION. Data gathering. The next day all of the rounds were hitting within 15'. Amazing! BTW he's currently in law enforcement and will continue with his company after retirement (per the article). IOW, he's a full time working stiff... The article says 1* in air temp can cause the round to fall 10-15' long or short, not to mention the effects of light on the optics themselves. Windage has similar effects. The round reaches 2300' in elevation alone. What's the weather doing up there compared to surface conditions? Who can know? Hence the 15' groups after zero. Pretty impressive. BTW, much of this data is to benefit military research. I'm happy when I drop an animal at 400 yards with a throat shot. Years ago I targeted the .416 Barrett as my go-to ELR of choice (flat shooting compared to the .50). I was glad to see this team back that up. Time to do some shopping... [/QUOTE]
