Re: .17 HMR at 500 and 800 yards (video) CZ 452
OK! Now for a little bit of honesty! I think you's have ern't it by now! I joined this forum site quite a while ago, but never got 2 post'n anything until now, as now i have a leg injury. But i had a quick look around here n couldn't find any1 that had sum reasonable criticism thrown at em, & i wanted to gauge sum of this for myself, at myself....... n now i have 2 say i have a lot more respect for you fella's now! But i couldn't help it.. This post jst call for sum sarcasm... Yeh, what i wrote wasn't true, i jst wanted 2 sort the Turtles from the Shrimp's so 2 say. (Turtles b'n hardend oldies n Shrimp's b'n thin skinned hair pullers) That's why i wrote what i wrote n you's saw straight thru it! I'v always looked at this site as the best forum site available due 2 the people here, n now i have a new level of respect for you's! I'll keep 2 proper post's from now on! n yeh, i am a Troll, but i won't b in the future! But dam you's r funny!!
Now 2 redeam myself a little, so i'll jst point out the obvious here.... If the projectile left his barrel @ the standard 2550fps, by the time that tiny little pill reached the 500 mtrs (yds) mark it's only do'n about 820fps, which is subsonic, so correct me if i'm wrong but the projectile would be spinning off axis (tumbeling) which degrades accuracy for starters once you get below the 1050fps mark. The breeze looked gusty @ the rockface (blowing from R to L) at inconsistant speeds, But consistantly steady @ about 2mph (R to L) at the shooting position were he lay. So we'll say a full factor 90 Deg crosswind he was shooting thru, with varing speed winds. So in a 3mph cross wind for eg (if it were cosistant...) he would be getting @ 500mtrs, about 32 inches drift!!! & to print a group that size???? 32in @ 500 equals 6.1 Mil. N if he had his zero set for 150mtrs, the projectile would be printing (@ 1500ft Altitude) about 172 inches low, about 9.5 Mil. So he would have to hold 6 Mil right n 9.5 Mil high... ...... n a group that size..... I'm jst wonder'n what kind of majic spell he was us'n that day....???? But due 2 there bad smell.... you can always smell a rat! Thanx again for the Troll Diagnosis & diagram's, LOL
