	Joe I might also add that the shortest time of flight in Milliseconds also did not always provide the very best of extreme accuracy other than just that cylindrical flat nose bullet. And maybe thee most stable bullet and this was also in a 15 twist and olely based on the time of flight and while also providing thee very beat of extreme accuracy at that time. This back on October 12, 2013 and when I was I was actually able set the new record. For those who might know it also a one time yearly event only. I also believe by going through all of my various printed out results and also going back to repeat every bullet test that I had tried and on numerous occasions. It was also just my own conclusion and based on time of flight it was also the most stable in flight.

	The second best was also a Paul Jones 196 grain spitzer and I was finally able to narrow it down to just those two. And I then revisited those two several times and while actually thinking that it the Paul Jones spitzer should have ended up being thee best choice the flat nose was.

	as ballistic coefficients differ, I would not assume "time of flight" (no matter what time scale is used) to be the deciding factor in accuracy.

	" as ballistic coefficients differ, I would not assume "time of flight" (no matter what time scale is used) to be the deciding factor in accuracy " Time of flight equates to less time being spent in the wind on its way to the target. And you are indeed correct it does not mean it would also be the most accurate. Finding the right combination of time of flight, right bullet choice and accuracy was what I was able to achieve by use of the Ohler 43 ballistic system.

	Here is a printout from the Ohler 43 ballistic system and what Barry was testing. Should be able to enlarge it to better review it all. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Question for JLouis: John Back when you were shooting to break BR record(s) what alloy or alloys and bullet lubes did you find gave the best accuracy for .32 caliber? That is if you care to share that knowledge. You obviously have collected a lot of data in your shooting career, have you considered compiling it? I'll bet that what you have learned over the years would make interesting reading if published in the ASSRA Journal.

	I agree with Randy. John, since you no longer shoot, you should start in on your memoirs.

	Randy I personally found that 1 in 16 was the best for my own personal use. Of course that also depends on bullet fit and avoiding any leading issues. If I had to settle on just one it would be 1 in 18. Moving up from 1 in 40, 30, 25, 20 18, I found 1 in 16 to be the best for my onwn personal use. I am also not interested in writing anything about my own past 23 years of personal experiences it only tends to turn allot folks here off. If I cannot share it here to hopefully help others out there is really no reason for me to sit down and to write it all down now.

	Use a pen name, John. You know like Rabbeth was J Frances or something like that. You don't have to use your own name. Write one article every month or two months and send it in to the journal. Really though, you should have it proof read and the grammar and punctuation, spelling corrected. You have so much you could share.

I like history and old dodad stuff like sights and triggers and stuff. Love reading about old target rifles and the shooters that used them and modified them. Old shooting matches and how they were run.
