    Best rear bag for backpack hunts

    I've used this same bag in multiple backcountry hunts and feel it is worth the extra "stuff" versus using puffy jackets etc.

    DRT Terminal Shock Load Data

    Thanks for the info. From the looks of DRTs website and their seeming lack of presence in the industry I am wondering if they are heading out of business or what? 1/2 their listings on the website are for “blemished” bullets and cartridges. Too bad as it seems they have a good product.

    DRT Terminal Shock Load Data

    Hi, I’ve been testing ammo for a new 6.5 Creedmore and have been impressed by the 135 gr DRTs. I don’t factory load so this is DRT factory loaded ammo. Gotta say I’m not real happy with that. One of the first 20 shells had no powder in it! It’s come down to this or Lehigh Defense Controlled...

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    Thanks for that insight. This seems like a great way to at least see if data is tracking as it should. Of course as previous commentator noted, there is no way to know if an anomaly is shooter or bullet. But this at least might yield an indication that further testing is worthwhile. And while...

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    Okay, thanks, I appreciate the thoughtful and direct responses. I’ll utilize the raw data without any tweaking and without using lead sled etc. My plan is to shoot 2-10 shot groups of each eligible ammo. Then overlay the targets to create one combined 20 shot group. Then I’ll pick the lowest...

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    Typo sorry: should have said- I AM talking about selecting the most accurate bullet here, not developing realistic cones of fire for shooting.

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    Thanks for the reply. Logical answers for sure. But it still leaves shooter error mixed into the process of attempting to determine the most accurate bullet shot from one’s system. I’m not talking about selecting the most accurate bullet here, not developing realistic cones of fire for...

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    A follow-up thought: Would a more accurate way to determine most accurate bullet be to remove the two worst impacts in each group of 10 and then recalculate the mean radius from this “high-graded” group? Again, the goal would be to see a more true analysis of the performance of the bullet by...

    Mean Radius for Bullet Testing ?

    Hi, I’m curious as to people’s input on using mean radius vs. max spread for bullet selection. I have a new rifle in 6.5 CM, I’ve been shooting 10 shot groups of various factory loaded bullets to try to determine which bullet to go with. I don’t reload. I’m 7 groups in so far. My 10 shot...
