Thread: Nodes = waste of time.

Thanks. I think people (me in particular) have been confusing the issues around barrel harmonics (barrel whip, oscillations etc) with nodes, thinking they "cancel out" at some certain velocities. The S&L has a very slim barrel, and powder choice (and the corresponding effects that has) as much as anything predicates how it will shoot.

A thin barrel of very high quality will have less "barrel whip" (hence induce less cross velocity) than a poor-quality thick barrel

Here is the ladder shot today with the LVR, just no comparison or group but worth including to give a full picture. It has one more round cause I don't really trust some of the ball type powders, hence starting a bit lower (relative to the 2206H)

Whats that 26/26.3 grn velocity about? 300 fps jump for .3grn

I'd guess transcription error. 2963.

Oops - yup. 2963
