Seating Depth Increments?
I never owned a rifle with a light contoured barrel that was custom until a few years ago, so I have never attempted to get high levels of accuracy from a sporter barrel before. At the range I was having fits with two new rifles. With each rifle, I had 10-20 shot ladder tests with two different...- ImBillT

Seating Depth Increments?
With less modern bullets the be at thing to do was to test jumping and jamming. How much wasn’t of huge importance. Whichever shot better was good enough. Today a lot more bullets have secant ogives than in the past. Secant ogive bullets usually shoot well jammed, and will usually shoot well...- ImBillT

Hornady 7 PRC a Lie?
My experience supports this. I’m getting 2950fps with a 180gr VLD from my 280AI. It has a 27” barrel, so I would say 2800-2875fps should be very doable from a 24” barrel.- ImBillT

It sure feels that way sometimes!!! I do suspect they had to remove the button because people crashed the site at least once.- ImBillT

2024 Utah Draw Results
I forgot to mention, card updates got shutdown last night. After scouring some old threads, they have done that earlier than the day before results. :( It got my hopes up.- ImBillT

2024 Utah Draw Results
Maybe. I just meant that I thought someone would know by now. It’s been the day after the NV deadline a couple years in a row, and also a week early. That said, Utah hasn’t been very consistent. I was hoping that this would be the third year of following the same pattern.- ImBillT

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
We buy what is called “canister grade” powder, and load them into all manner of cases and shoot bullets in all manner of shapes. Canister grade powder fits within a much tighter spec from lot to lot than what manufacturers use, so on the surface that seems like we would be more consistent, but...- ImBillT

Statistics for differentiating between groups?
I’m convinced that something about shooting follows some sort of normal distribution. Picking the right thing to measure would be key. Brushing up on my stats could point me in the right direction regardless of whether it was addressed directly. I need to just order a textbook off eBay. I’m...- ImBillT

Statistics for differentiating between groups?
Statistics are greatly under appreciated by the benchrest shooters at my local range, but I must admit that their vast experience(10k shots per year for many decades) combined with excellent equipment makes their job a little easier. It’s interesting to see them shoot a rifle that is capable of...- ImBillT

Statistics for differentiating between groups?
I need to read this tonight. These are the types of questions we should be asking! I got involved in a similar, but simpler, conversation a year ago and frankly could not remember enough from my stats class, nor was I able to find my stats book.- ImBillT

ID nonres sheep/Moose/Goat apps?
The only way NR’s would be likely to get less than 10% is if they were less than 10% of the applicant pool which is practically never the case. Thats why most states with “up to” X% show NR’s getting X% on almost every hunt code. Therefore, draw odds shouldn’t be crazy hard to calculate. That...- ImBillT
