Ackley, the following post found in the Site Questions forum explains quoting (start at post #4):
http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=323215 About your picture above - is the 500 yard target the white one about 10 to 15 yards to the right of the channel running downrange? Or is there another one further downrange that is hard to see? |

It looks as if you have a suppressor on your rifle in that pic; are you shooting that distance with a suppressor?

And I got 1.544" using the program. That small difference with John's measurement can just be how the eyes pick up the edges of the caliper blades. Both are probably equally good shooting. It is simply within probable error to have those kinds of differences in 4 shot groups. Two 10 shot groups will be more consistent, and larger shot numbers still more consistent as outliers of the same magnitude get more chance to show up in each one.

What sort of point of impact shift do you observe when changing between the moderator and muzzle brake and when shooting with no muzzle attachment at all?

Moderator. I like that. It's more intuitive description of what to expect than "suppressor", which has to be explained to most folk, much less Hollywood's "silencer", which panics the non-cognoscenti in this country into thinking you'll hear nothing but "pffft". Anyone who's pulled targets in the pits knows that isn't even a theoretical possibility with medium and high power rifle rounds.
But I preach to the choir.

Nice seeing your still around Ackley. I see your still using your 243AI suppressed. You need to post some of your pictures of the Foxes you have taken. I have not been on California Varmint Hunters site in a long time. Nice seeing you here. (Bigjim)

with the moderator in the photo which was a very lightweight unit,I got about 1/2 inch difference in POi, when I was hunting in Africa when I was on my own I swapped to the brake if i was with a PH and a tracker I used the mod, over here people are striving to make the lightest mod at the min for carry rifles,we have 3 different makers of titainium mods at the moment which are very light but expensive,there is one clown that is selling his for £600 |
