[QUOTE="Brent, post: 32005, member: 99"] Milanuk, I was going to ask you if you were familiar with the Oehler 43's acoustic target, but you went on to actually mention it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I actually have one and am getting ready to run this very test here in less than a week or two. I've got a broken leg of PVC pipe on it right now, almost cut the wires running through the PVC my pistol when I hit it! I could get set up and test tomarrow if I ran to the hardware store and got another stick of PVC, but it's my Dad's B-Day tomarro and we're already to go and have a bunch planned to shoot already. I'm fixin to set the acoustic target up at 100 yards, then the target frame at 300 yards to try and lay this to rest for myself, I have seen it happen too. I don;t remember which loads, but it was with a 12 twist 308 and possibly even my 416 wby, but I'll just have to shoot for a while to see what I find. The nice thing about the acoustic target is that it doesn't interfere with the bullet in flight. It will tell the tale if it happens. I've shot enough groups with the 210 JLK now that I think it's not an issue with it in my 11 twist, it shoots too tight at 100, and pretty much extrapalates to my 300 yard groups. I'm not convinced I'll even find anything interesting the first time out trying this, and more than likely it will take seeing it happen at some point down the road then further range tests with the acoustic target to validate, or dismiss it.
