Then you, her or both approached and surpassed the yield strength of that particular grade of aluminum. Good experiment.

Have you ever used a wrench on something stubborn to remove and seen it flex, if so you have distorted the shape but you haven’t surpassed it’s yield strength of it returned to its normal shape. You can flex any metal but if you don’t push it past it’s yielding point it will return to its...

Unless you exert more force than the yield strength of the particular metal the barrel is made from. Short answer is it will not bend under the force of gravity. Now this is for metal only not any wood components like the stock.

I’m an EE not a ME but I’ve managed a team of engineers consisting of many disciplines for many years. It’s just basic knowledge that you acquire over time

Because I’ve worked in the engineering field for 30 years

It’s called yield strength of metals. Unless you exert more pressure than it’s yield strength the metal may deform but it will return to it’s original state, the metal has not yielded.

I still have a few bushels of seed corn left over from planting this spring, after we get through planting beans I may take the planter to the pond and plant a few acres on one end to see what happens. Thanks

I’m in Louisiana. I have the equipment and was planning on investing a couple thousand dollars for seed and other stuff. The nearest neighbor that plants something for ducks are about 10 miles away and they plant rice because that’s what they farm.

I’m going to plant a 100 acre crawfish pond to attract ducks this fall. My local farm rep suggested a sorghum - sudangrass hybrid at a rate of 30#/acre. Does anyone have experience with this grain good or bad. Thanks

I have a bunch of 220 grain bullets that I want to practice with. What is the best powder for the lighter bullets in a 338 LM with a 30” barrel. I have a bunch of H4831 if it will work.

One interesting thing is how the “node” didn’t really change relative to seating depth changes. But this is only one test with a small sample size.

Used the Berger method to find the “seet spot” for seating depth and repeated the ocw/ladder test. If someone had the time (I don’t) they could do things like radial SD, hit probably and other statistical calculations that would tell more than just max group size and it could give you percent...

Speaking of wasting time, I’m done with this, I have to get ready to shoot a few pigs tonight. Have a good day
