Anneal or not ?

[J E Custom]

There is a lot of discussions about why we anneal or not. This is a Video showing the difference between the two.

This Video shows the test in the most ideal conditions and with the optimum equipment so I feel it is representative of actual results and not solely dependent on shooter skills. It is obviously a bench rifle setup and he is tickling the trigger without griping the rifle (Which helps eliminate more shooter error).

The results are Representative of the difference and firing 20 shots leaves lot's of room for error but shows true results in my opinion.

Enjoy

Verry nice! I am a proponent of annealing but for this gentleman's test to be unobscured wouldn't he need to be testing the ppc loads out of the same rifle? It appears he is using two different ones for his test.

You are correct, the results mean absolutely nothing, the moment he changed rifles the test was meaningless.

I like the experiment but I would've liked to see the results with the same rifle.

Thanks for sharing J E

You guys have good eyes, I watched it several times and missed it. so I totally agree if you change rifles all bets are off. My Bad

Not your bad at all. I really enjoy everything you out up. I just happen to notice. Not your fault. The principles are sound just wish he had used the same equipment.

It sounded like at the end he was promoting annealing for case life. Not so much the accuracy part but it was mpressive too.

Exactly

Im more looking at the consitancy of the speeds anyway not the groups!

Very interesting video, thanks!!

It could be set up even better as a double-blind test, where a person hands a shooter a cartridge, not knowing if it's an annealed one or not. Could use a numbering system to sort out which was which

The 30 PPC's were the same rifle, right?

How would I know that? He used a creedmor to sho his method then tested both ways on a 30 PPC, right?

Does not appear to be so. They have two different color stocks between to two.

 

[nksmfamjp]

00:00-03:00 6.5 Creedmor
03:00-end. 30 ppc (looks like 1 rifle to me)

The first 20 round ppc string the stock on the rifle is a a reddish/maroon color.

the second round ppc string the stock in the rifle is a dark/charcoal grey.
