Thread: What is "ES"

As a barrel heats up, speed will vary no matter how good your 1 shot ES is.😆
How much depends on your barrel and how anal you are at reloading your ammo.

I have tested 5 rnds over a half hour period and it was pretty good.
As said above low ES does not mean you will have good accuracy.

But as my rifle is a hunting rifle primarily and with shooting the odd bit of steel for shits n giggles I only see benifit in testing mine over time, cold bore.

I keep records or if I am lazy the V3 has all my strings recorded.

If your reloading practice is sound and you have a low ES over say 10 shots there is no reason not to assume it will be the same throughout.
If your a hunter shooting conventional ranges as long as it is under 100 fps it won't be an issue.

4 things that have improved my ES the most are weigh sorting, annealing, graphite and HBN coating my projectiles.
I sacrifice a bit of velocity by coating my projectiles but it's only a click or 2 on the dial at the end of the day.
