    In short, the more odd things I see the less "sure" certain things are... twist rates, type of rifling, number of lands/grooves, bore wear, etc., lots of factors that could add up for sure.

    One thing was clear... ballistic charts and math is good, but as we all know, field testing is where it's at... another great benefit to training... seeing things that depart from the norm.


    Maybe the faster rifles have more wear on the rifling? Less friction
