Measure barrel vibrations

Youd be surprised at how much even a humidity change throws it off. You can tune a barrel with a tuner to its smallest movement, go have a sammich and try again and its like you never touched it. You can “stop” a muzzle but it wont stay. Itll go wild before it even shows you on the target its going out of tune
No, you can't stop a muzzle, Dusty. You might be saying that tongue in cheek or not. I thought the only person that still believes in a stopped muzzle was Calfee. Lol!
 
I'd like to see a lot more like this:

A slow motion video of the muzzle coupled with your data would be very enlightening!

Good luck with your research!
 
It was pretty precise models that put men on the moon in a much more complex situation, even using slide rules to boot. All about the understanding to make things work better, too many theories with inadequate proof at this time. My working principles have always been 1. If you can't measure it, you can't fix it. 2. If you can write a reasonably predictive model, then you understand, and capture the technology to communicate and improve.

yep

they can send rovers to far distant planets. put men on the moon. drop a bomb down a stovepipe

but no one has been able to put a bullet through the same hole in a target every time. my hope is that they never create a computer program that can. what would all our accurate shooters forum friends do for fun then?
 
Texas 10, I am with you. These guys are way over my pay grade. But lets see some slow motion video of a rifle barrel and ACTION being fired.

With all the variables, I doubt a computer model can replace range time, but the trip will be fun.
