I think it is a random fluke. The other test has one low hit, then the first video has a 2 low hits if you consider I aimed high on the second shot. But yes, it is odd there weren't as many low shots or more.

You're welcome! I'm glad now that I did another test; it was much better the second time around.

Here are the results from the second test. Specifics: Howa 1500 30-06 Hornady 150gr FMJ, 2600fps Varget 46.6gr CCI 200 Winchester case 300 yards Dropper devise 260 yards from target Shots 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9; hit water drops. They make an 8 inch group. Shots 1, 2, 7, and 10; did not hit...

Yes I get the "paint" reference; I just didn't understand the drawing. Ok, I understand what he means now... but trying to hit a single drop is what I need to try for. Because even in a heavy rain, the odds of hitting a single drop is great. So are you implying that I need to hit more water...

Another thing, the point of aim must be constant. The first test had the same point of aim even though I intended to hold for wind; which I understand now would have been a mistake. So either viewing the wind flags will need to be part of the video, so one can see how the wind is affecting the...

I don't know if you're messing with me or what. I have no idea what that means.

I don't perceive having a problem hitting drops anymore. I hit 6 of 6 the last time, after the flow was accelerated. But I would like to shoot the drops first to ensure I have at least 5 hits on water. Besides, when shooting at close range, the scope doesn't get a clear picture on the...

That I've thought about it more... I think yaw must be present. The only way it couldn't be present is if the drop deflected the bullet at a precise balance point. Unless it is a head-on collision, that isn't possible. I suspect the yaw was slight and was dampened well before it hit the target.

The reason I have a lot of drops is because the wind blows the drops quite a lot. ven with the 10 holes I had to shift the rifle left and right to chase the drops insuring to get a hit. I was going to do it that way, but was missing the drops due to the stream being too sparse. But, The only...

Ice would skew the test. No one would doubt that ice causes a deviation.

I looked over my stocks and I can disassemble 14 30-30 cartridges, to make 10 30-06 cartridges of the same load as the previous test. Before I preform another test, I want the parameters laid-out. First; I'll hook up the dropper device to a hose at the house; so the range will be 200...

Some turned into vapor, some were splatter. I assume vapor is more of a center hit than the splatter. I'm working on another post as to attempt another test. The new test will be using another camera as to capture the water hit more clearly. Please be patient.

That is also wrong. You are assuming the bullets striking the water will tumble and corkscrew to the target, I don't think it will happen, and it isn't happening. If it were happening there would be sideways strikes on the target; there are none. I think the strike on a liquid, can't be half as...

No. The 4 shot group that didn't touch water are 1/4 the size of those that hit water.

There is no way I could see the target with paper in the way. The 4 shots I took without hitting water, including the flier is more accurate than the 5 shot group in the test you've provided. If their group was shot at 300 yards it would have been 5.1 inches as opposed to my 3.25 inches. My...
