Yes, this is the way most run-out is measured (using an indicator which measures the change in radius as the object is rotated). Sinclair & Hornady both make run-out gauges, I think.

Not exactly. While in the barrel, the projectile follows the form of the barrel (which may help correct a deformed pellet skirt), but when it leaves, it will spin around its center of gravity…. An out-of-round projectile will increase dispersion.

I have been reading the three volumes of Bryan Litz’s Applied Ballistics and feel like I just discovered a treasure trove of information. I am interested particularly in the effect of “out of roundness” on dispersion at longer shooting distances. Does anyone publish the “tir” (Total Indicated...

Which has the better concentricity: a swaged slug or a CNC turned slug?

The Skout Airguns Epoch / Evo has an open - faceted magazine design which uses a relatively short torsional spring to index the magazine after the bullet probe is retracted from the rifle chamber. Because the magazine capacity is higher than average and the spring is unloaded to begin with, this...

What do you think the recoil will be like on the new version? Will it come with a threaded barrel? if so, what are the thread specs?

I know; maybe Optics Planet is expressing sour grapes… I do see the price has come down considerably (at least at Utah Airguns), and there has not been a firmware update for awhile…

There are indications the FX True Ballistics Chronograph has been discontinued, as reported by Optics Planet & AI searches. This surprises me. Although expensive, it got good reviews & provided more information (BC’s) than other chronographs. I am very happy w/mine…

And where (when) might this be available?

Looks like the STUD loader will not work with Skout mags, is particular about which pellets it will take, will not work with slugs ( my primary use ), and is expensive for what appears to be a small plastic fixture - just my opinion…

Many thks for this info.

More Observations This rifle, as I rcvd it, has a hair trigger - more so than any other rifle I have shot. Be careful. Of course, you can adjust it every way imaginable. The difference in noise with and w/o the Tesla moderator is like night and day. I think, with this moderator the Evo in 25 Cal...

OK, I will try to answer questions posted. This configuration is 25 Cal w/long barrel. I prefer 30 Cal but I can use this with the 25 Cal Corbin production slugs (Skout Sniper Slugs). It has the Camo anodising, long Arca rail, Tesla moderator, and the Bench Rest Chassis (necessary if using the...
