Thank you again, Lancaster. The things going on in and with the barrel when firing a rifle are very complex. This much is AFAIK commonly accepted. I don't know whether it has been fully investigated and whether it is one phenomenon taking place in all rifles or whether there are more than one...

Borbal: I'm afraid you will have to reread my posts until you understand them. I can teach you but I cannot make you understand.

Lancaster: Thank you for sharing some practical examples. My results from .375 H&H Magnum and 6,5x55SE are similar in nature. Borbal: Your remark and summary are correct: OCW relates to resonant vibration of a string (such as in musical instruments or if you make a whipping motion with the...

I previously mentioned that the simulation gives an indication of which powders are most suitable. Although the ordering of the powders' muzzle velocity doesn't seem to be entirely correct, it reduces the powders to test to perhaps two or three. I only have access to VV and Norma, so there are...

Borbal, you have a point about whether to include muzzle break / suppressor or not. I don't know the answer, but you may very well be right. It might also be that the muzzle break / suppressor adds to the factors behind the up-an-down movement of the exit end of the barrel but not the exit...

I'm using GRT OBT for .375 H&H Magnum and 6,5x55SE. I found that if you do the following: * Weight sort your brass and do volume (H2O weight) measurement of the brass that you are using for the bullet in question * Enter a good approximation for your barrel length including muzzle break (and...

A report on the (lack of) progress with the ECJU: As I mentioned, I tried calling the number for general queries hoping that these chaps would actually be there to provide responses to said queries, but apparently this was a very silly notion. I was told that they are not permitted to provide...

Thank you Heym. I am currently in the ECJU rabbit hole. No point in calling the phone number they listed under "General queries about strategic export licensing". Not impressed. Now trying their e-mail address. Kenbro, I can assure you that I am quite original. No idea who this Yes fellow is.

My deepest sympathies not withstanding, the question of this thread is whether you need an export license to buy bullets and rifle brass from the UK. There are 17 postings in this thread by other members than me. A single one of these postings has anything to do with the topic. Just saying...

Swedish, that image is dang funny. :) However, I sometimes find that trying to get an answer in a user forum is like standing in at a school outing for kids diagnosed with ADHD. Where's a sheep dog when you need it?

On of the reasons why I am asking the forum whether it is your experience or knowledge that suppressors cause smaller group sizes is this claim by a suppressor manufacturer. I don't want to spend money and time on verifying if somebody knows and can successfully argue that it is a load of bull...

That's a fine video, but how do we all feel about getting back on topic? Everyone agreeing that DavyG is correct? No restriction and perfectly legal to export bullets and rifle brass from the UK?

I'm only a beginner and the only hunts I have participated in so far have been from a tower. One situation that might occur is game peacefully coming out to feed, standing still for at least seconds at a time. If you are sitting down, 3m above ground, and have a wooden railing to support the...

Of course wind and coriolis matter, but not so much in a sealed 100 m in-door tunnel.

Smellydog, the point I think you are trying to make is quite possibly one of the ultimately "correct" answers to this overall question. There is simply no need for better accuracy in near-100% of the hunting situations. For me, it's a question of learning this field, beyond what is necessary or...
