To All,
The conditions were not good this past weekend. We had 9” of snow fall between Friday noon and Saturday noon with stiff winds swirling most of the weekend. I did finally get a little testing done during a break in the weather Saturday into Saturday evening. Sunday was a day of more stiff swirling winds that wouldn’t allow any meaningful testing.
Rogers Muzzle Device that I have has one each of the following weights: ½ oz Aluminum (can only be used by it’s self or last in any sequence), 1 oz Aluminum, 2 oz, 3 oz, 4 oz, & 5 oz Stainless Steel. With this weight assortment there won’t be as many different sequence variations as originally thought (I thought there would be 3 weights of Aluminum & 3 of Stainless Steel). I still think there will be enough different sequences to find the needed weight. I’m sure the weights used could be changed by using more aluminum weights to possibly increase the variations in the lower weight sequences if needed.
The criteria I decided upon with my testing was to shoot five groups of three shots with each weight sequence tried. I would measure the groups for the total vertical outside to outside. Then I would drop the low and high groups. Then I averaged the remaining three groups. I’m hoping that this would give me enough data to help lead me the right direction with the weights and help me analyze the results so I could understand what I’m seeing and why.
With the difficult shooting conditions I was not able to see the definitive results I was hoping for. I did see some promising groups at some of the weight sequences. My measured groups were in a range of 0.240 to 0.580 outside to outside. There was very good variance with different weight sequences showing the affects of changing weights. I hope to have better weather for meaningful testing next weekend. I really think the optimum weight sequence is there, I just have to find it and then test it against my old adjustable tuner with its proven setting.
I would like to add that Rogers Muzzle Device is one very well made piece of equipment. It shows that he takes great pride in what he is doing. The fit and look of it is awesome. I would like to thank Roger and Bill for allowing me to test this new Muzzle Device.

A little snow anyone?
