I assumed .22 LR, and you said .22 LR, but I suppose a 1:9 twist indicates .17 HMR or HM2, no? A little strange to see a 1:9 twist barrel on a .22 LR gun, unless it's something like a conversion kit on a .223 centerfire gun. Although I do believe that Kimber's website incorrectly states their...

Brad, you're saying "with Eley ammo" as if that's all that mattered. Grabbing the box that says Eley. It's not that simple. I already stated that competitive shooters will lot test for a gun, so why you're saying it back to me as if it was something I never said is puzzling. The fact remains...

Yeah, that, and you should really consider forgetting about high velocity ammo in that quest. Match ammo is typically not 'high velocity' for many reasons. High velocity ammo behaves worse in the wind, as it is more affected by it. High velocity ammo will also pass through that 'trans-sonic'...

Do you only have one gun? I imagine you have several. Do they all shoot as well as the next when you feed them the exact same lot of ammo? Or do they all behave differently? I'm quite sure if you ask any competitive shooter with several competitive guns that they have seperate lots set aside...

I thought it was generally agreed that any inconsistency in concentricity was taken care of by a tight match chamber anyway.

You take any random lot of Tenex, and any random gun, and you will get random results. The fact that you've found a lot that shoots good in a gun of yours is meaningless to anyone else, because there is no telling how it will shoot in any other gun. You could have found the absolute most...

In your gun.

Maybe he got it right from Eley and it wasn't marked simply because it wasn't marked? Or maybe it was cherry-picked? Who knows. I agree it would be very strange for them to not have lot numbers, since they would want to track that stuff and they know that we want to know it, too. I'd be very...

It's their top-of-the-line, most consistent ammo, and most expensive. As you go down the line the consistency is a bit worse at each step, but the price also drops accordingly. I notice now that they've dropped the two Biathlon loads from the line-up. And they mention they've got a new box...

Just an FYI... Eley's updated their website recently (not sure when, just noticed it now) and is showing some new rounds for 2008. It now goes (along with some others in there): Tenex -> Match -> Team -> Club -> Sport

It should be worse, since it did get the orange label. But it'll be interesting to hear how much worse.

You could always take another step down to Eley Target Rifle and come play with us silhouette shooters. ;) It's more than enough round for that game, but, you'll enter the picture more yourself, of course. I've actually been wanting to try the Club Xtra EPS, but haven't found any locally yet.

Looks like 2000 to me. http://www.gzanders.com/eley/lotexp.html

Gravity's acceleration is 9.81m/s/s, and yes, air resistance plays a factor. But this remains the same regardless of angle of fire. I wouldn't call it a small amount, not sure why you consider it to be.

Gotcha.

Dropping is moving towards the ground. Accelerating downwards is not the same as dropping. If you throw a rock as hard as you can straight up, it is accelerating downwards the instant it leaves your hand. But it is not *dropping* until after it stops moving upwards at its peak height during...

They begin accelerating towards the ground right away, but that's not the same thing as dropping. They only start dropping right away if the boreline is parallel to the ground. They rise for a certain amount of time before they begin dropping. You would have to be shooting at a very short...
