If what he does works for him and what you do works for you........that's all that matters. More than one way to skin a cat. Also,the difference in powder lot #'s alone can easily account for,the .3gn difference between yours and his findings.....so he maybe just as fast as you are.

Nodes vary according to velocity.....the faster you go the closer the nodes(more frequent) and the amplitudes are lower. The slower the velocity the nodes are farther apart and the amplitudes are greater........all of this is in respect of time ......so grains of powder can vary between nodes...

Favorite loads will vary per individual for various reasons per shooter...conditions....locations in U.S.A.(east vs west) Some prefer moderate...some prefer hotter loads. Speeds will vary from about 3200fps to 3500fps. Velocity is not important......consistancy is. I'd do a sign-wave test to...

I have an old Speer reloading manual(number 10) with loads for the 6X47mm on the .222 Remington Magnum case. The lightest bullet shown is a 75gn with speeds of mid 2900's to a little over 3000fps. The fastest load listed for the 75gn bullet was 3049fps using 25.0gns of RE7. The rifle used a...

I think there are more "hummer" shooters than there are "hummer" barrels. Good luck and stay safe.

WOW!!!....Congratulations to Ed Adams and all the winners. Any chance of equipment list and maybe loading data? Thanks for the posting of the match.

Thank you for the current listing.........I was wondering if Ed Watson was still at the top.....and he's been gone many years. It's gonna be a long time before anyone surpasses Ed Watson's record in the South East.

Well,barrel harmonics do have something to do with the shooters ability. You can't even tune the rifle without taking barrel harmonics into consideration.

The 2 main causes of errant shots are No. 1....shooter error and No.2....downrange condition changes the shooter was not aware of or didn't compensate for. No amount of tuning or tuner will make up for either one. The rifle only does what the shooter tells it to do.

A lot depends on the loads you shoot and how well and often the barrel is cleaned and kept cool.

My opinion is it's more of a case of hummer shooters than hummer barrels because the shooter ultimately has the last say. You pull that trigger at the wrong time,that barrel ain't gonna makeup for shooter error......Tony Boyer or not. That rifle only does what you tell it to do.

Some bullets, like the 168gn SMK .doesn't stablize 'til about 180yds,so it's hard to say. These new loong,high B.C. bullets may take more. Glenn Newick,in his book The Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy,emphasized the importance of gettting the bullet stabilized as quickly as possible. Flat based...

Even Socrates said that one of the main problems with democracy is justice(or lack of justice). Remember...the Boston Bomber is STILL breathing! Crime is big business(money)...,everybody is making money....more cops and equipment,jailer,bondsmen,clerks,judges,lawyers,mental health...

Thank you for your input...I appreciate it.

Looks like LT-32 Lot#10 is going to be slower per volume. With the same powder dispenser setting,Lot#10 is lighter in weight by volume and slower in chronograph speeds by about 100fps. ES/SD seems to be very consistant though with low numbers It's gonna take more podwer to reach the same speed...

Yes...Lot No.'s 1,2,and 3 were some of the best. I now have Lot No. 10 and it is definitely different and will require extensive work up.

E. Cortina 1kyd group.... It's a 20 shot group...just so happened the last 5 went close together. You can see the other 15 bullet holes in the same target making a 20 shot group.

Load info request Rem 40XBR 1966 in 308.... Back in 2008... a man named John Lewis shot a world record 5 shot group of .386" at 600yds with a Rem 308 based Benchrest HG(35 lbs) using 1-14 twist barrel. Neck turned Lapua brass,155gn Lapua bullets,Reloader 15 powder,and Winchester primers...

Yes.....I used to own a 1976 DGA LV 6PPC(originally .222 R HV when it left Shilen in summer of '76). Was in an old Adamowicz BR stock when I got it. I don't own it anymore. Fine shooting rifle. Shilen action/Shilen barrel.....Shot my 1st "zero" with that rifle. Have since moved on to Stolle...

Roanoke results....... Does anyone know of where I could see the results of the 2018 SE Regional shoot at Roanoke. Thanks in advance.
