Thanks for the kind words sir!

Yeah I've done a TON of testing. Spent a countless amount of money trying different things. Read countless reviews and ballistic testing results. Some of these results are simply not true. For a true test, the deck cannot be stacked!

Example: I just read ballistic results from an excellent bullet/sabot company testing their bullets against PowerBelt's. The barrel they tested with was a .50cal Knight Disc Extreme. This is not a fair test at all! Of course their bullets would group better as the Knight was not designed to shoot PowerBelts. If the test had been done using a CVA barrel, the results would have NOT been the same. In fact, most probably the opposite.

This is why I tried to stress in my last post to follow manufacturers instructions AT LEAST to start with.
