    Where Do Rifles Shoot By Themselves?

    Rest a rifle whose sight is zeroed for its ammo at 100 yards on bags. Position the rifle so its sight is centered on target 100 yards away. Don't touch or hold the rifle. Somehow, remotely fire the rifle without disturbing its point of aim. Where does it shoot bullets relative to point of aim?

    Measuring Bullet's Release Force

    That's the force that's needed to push a bullet out of a case mouth.

    Scope Adjustments; Zeroing and Limits

    Took my two Weaver Model T’s to lay in mounts with loosened top clamps, then spun them until reticule’s stayed at the same place on target at short range; that’s mechanical and optical zero (M/O zero) for the scope as the erector tube’s optics are centered in the scope tube. Both started out...

    Change in FPS per 1/10th Grain of Powder

    Used Sierra Bullets data for two cartridges to calculate how much average muzzle velocity would change for a 1/10th grain change in powder charge weights. A mid-range velocity's powder is listed in order of high to low for fps changes; those either side will be close, but there are some...
