Continental Shooter Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I agree, the representation is what we need to start our analysis. Obviously there are influential factors which fall within our control (i.e. pellets count, choke, barrel length, etc.) and many more which we can only make an educated guess about. Understand how to latter can be manipulated to achieve certain goals is what patterning is all about. when i said before that i am looking for a determined number of pellets in each of the sections of the pattern i meant "on average" so, if one shot counts 15 pellets and the next one 9 that makes 12 on average yet, none of these shot produced 12 exactly.

Guest cookoff013 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 What would be a fudging cool experiment, would be to take a homeload. Load it up in 1grain increments, say 17grain AS 28gram lead, all the way up to 23grains and see what happens to the pattern. At what speed does the choke pattern true. Or I could be talking out my bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it's just that the average number (assuming each section has the same area, which from memory is what was indicated) the average toward the centre of the pattern will be higher than that at the edge.

Guest cookoff013 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Have you started yet? No, i cant be *****, i`m more interested in internal ballistics. nb, maybe need a think on this, one variable would be soft lead and high antimony lead.
