Pressure Spike Anomalies

[LongRange]

I can vary my FPS by 25 to 30FPS by loading or not loading the bipod...I also stay on target if I load the bipod and loose sight if not loaded...so while ppl always talk about over thinking theres something else for you to think about...its all about consistency...from seating the primers all the way to pulling the trigger and anyone that says different don't shoot consistently at longer ranges....this is not meant as a smart a$$ remark or aimed at anyone its just a fact.

Well loading a bipod by which i assume you mean foward pressure, might help staying on target. Ive heard others say leaving one leg notch exposed helps keep the jump down, especially from a bench. But im scratching my head over why differences in velocity by not loading the bipod legs.
Now yanking the trigger really hard might be something i could relate to. Maybe even pressing the tounge real hard against the roof of your mouth while really yanking the trigger. lol

Come on buck your slipping....its the difference in recoil....no load equals free recoil which reduces velocity.

That sounds plausible, but I'm not buying the 25-30 fps. You need to run that experiment again, only this time from a rest, not a bipod.

The load im shooting now in my 260 shoots a consistent 2810-2825 when i load the bipod...with no load on the bipod resting on a rear bag its 2795 to 2805...next time i go to the range ill try it off a bench with bags.
