    Joseph von Benedikt vs Formidilosus

    Longtime JVB podcast listener here. To correct the record, JVB is not a fan of energy stats--mainly because the way the math works out velocity is over-emphasized. I actually think he and Form would finish each-other's sentences here. JVB also adamantly opposes the idea of knockdown power. What...

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    As promised, here is a follow-up take on the initial cold/hot-bore test that kicked this thread off. I've already demonstrated that I'm a mediocre shooter who's still learning ballistics. But I am a data nerd, and I was confused by some of the patterns I saw in those test results. TL;DR...

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    Thanks for the thoughtful replies, all. Here are my results from a return trip to the range yesterday. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me interpret what I'm seeing here. In a follow up message I will try to respond to other comments--including what I saw in Form et al.'s original...

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    I’m a big fan of more data. If the quality of shots are evenly distributed across a shot string, 30 shots is actually the magic number in statistics where the average (or central tendency) becomes meaningful. Two reactions to this approach: 1. This is definitely the way I would do it if I was...

    Great idea. Challenge accepted!

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    It's a great point, and one that I need to drill on for hunting--staying in the scope, spotting impacts, and being prepared to take follow-up shots. The thing that puzzles me is just how consistent it is. Two tight shots low, two high, and a random 5th shot inside of a 2" cone. If my scope...

    Thanks for your time, your knowledge, and for scrounging up this article.

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    I haven’t rigged a thermometer up to it, but I can definitely say that after two rounds in quick succession (under 1 minute between shots),that fluted sporter barrel is definitely hot to the touch. Whether that’s “accuracy hot”?

    I broke position every time. 🤷

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    Late to this thread, brought here by some consistent patterning I’m seeing on my browning XBolt in 7PRC when firing 5 shots groups at 100yards: Two shots touching. Then two shots touching, about an inch high, followed by a (gulp) flier. These aren’t cherry picked. These are my most recent...

    The 12x42 and the 16x50 have a similar exit pupil, so in theory this should help us understand how much better the ED glass/coatings are. Any chance you could do a side by side at dusk/dawn and report back?

    Sig Zulu6 PRO (NEW GLASS)

    I bought the previous gen HDX 16x42s shortly (almost immediately) after Cliff Gray raved about them on YouTube. Some things stand out to me about the new crop: 1) Regarding the previous-gen HDXs, the PHs seem to agree that the 12Xs were better despite having the same field of view as the 16s...

    What and how do you carry your sidearm in the highcountry?

    Fair point. Your post inspires me to go for a cross-draw OWB setup. One that I can easily move from pack belt to waist belt and back. These guys make just such a thing for my Glock 20. https://www.crossbreedholsters.com/product/the-reckoning-holster/?ref=fp-top-sellers

    What and how do you carry your sidearm in the highcountry?

    Looking into this, I’m wondering how do you draw if your pack is off and your pistol is on your pant belt, but you’re wearing layers that fall below your waist and cover up the pistol?
