Default RE: Barnes TSX triple shock.

Sounds good stubbs, what velocity and weight TSX are you shooting? Ya gotta LOVE only 6" of drop at 400yds, if more people had that kind of trajectory they wouldn't think we were crazy for taking "1/4 milers" in the first place! Sure makes it pretty easy.

Stubbs have you ever experimented with "torque steer/drift" with your bullets at long range (over 600yds)? John Lazzeroni told me about most of his guns once being sighted in for very long range would actually shoot an inch left at 100yds. Makes sense as the forces of a 30 cal at the 3500-4000fps range would be a TREMENDOUS rotational force that would tend to drift the bullet in the direction of the barrels rifling. I would have to add it up, but I am wanting to say a "supermag" will spin bullets as fast as 250k-300k+ rpm? That's a tremendous force on a bullet and I can't see how ANY of them stay together under such a load.

I just LOVE these "point and shoot" calibers,
RA
