Recent.
Yes, and I thank Saeed for his generosity with regard to this entire site. Without him and this site, I would be aimlessly roaming the streets. Instead of aimlessly roaming AR.

B L O'ConnorIndeed. Thank you, Saeed. Not only for your recent activity, but for all you do to keep this site going. (I'll bet there's a lot behind the scenes that we don't see.)
And thank you, Roger, for your post.
Gentlemen,
You are very welcome.
Glad you are enjoying what a friend has called "ballistic mythbusters" experiments.

customboltAppropriate analogy Saeed. Affectionately A.K.A. That blows that theory out the window.
The "jump to the lands" (+ or -) experiment alone was a real eye opener. Then cleaning the barrel every 100 rounds was a surprise as well. Few have the time or the means to isolate one variation and work it thoroughly as you have. Thanks.
Questions I have about your latest series is; was the air temperature consistent? Was barrel cool down a factor? Sorry if I overlooked these details.
As a rule, I do not like to shoot a rifle until the barrel gets very hot.
As an example, I am currently doing the primer test on a rifle we have built.
It has a heavy, fluted barrel, and the maximum number of shots I fire consecutively is 10.
It is then left to cool down before another lot is shot.
We can afford to do this because of our setup, and there is always something to be done in the workshop.
