[QUOTE="TulsaMike, post: 3682226, member: 49625"] I hope to start coming out with the shooting groups on here and having fun, but having only been in OK for 5 weeks, I don’t know where to shoot other than our LE range, which is only 50 yards. When I was in arizona, I had a private 1 mile range, a $20,000 reloading setup with 4 Dillon presses, 3 charge masters, and a lot of measuring equipment, benches, scales etc. 3 times a week I’d go out and play with different bullets, powders, casings, change oals and loads, crimp force, etc. I really got to see what rifle could do what, and see how they shot to the longest distance they could, as well as accuracy up close. I also spent a lot of time testing factory ammo out of each rifle, and was amazed that 3 10.5 inch guns with identical ammo could vary 100-150 fps, as well as standard deviation spreads between the rounds. Basically due to the abilities and resources I had, I went full nerd and just compiled tons of data out of boredom. I’m not trying to say that im better than anyone else when it comes to this stuff, but I can say with great confidence that much of what I discovered was significantly different than what the internet typically claimed, and way off from what manufacturers did. Some were making velocity claims based on 24-28 inch barrels, and in big bore, 32+ inch, which is insane and very deceiving since it’s rare anyone has a rifle configured that way. Anyway, I don’t think anyone deserves to be talked down to, and I forget I’m not established here like I was back home with people who followed me or knew me, so I apologize for any attitude.
