"They involved the firing of many thousands of cartridges by a team of nine experienced shots of varying build, shooting under a wide variety of conditions with guns of different types, weight and boring. The cartridges were all loaded to give the same velocity to the same shot charge, though by means of powders of various rates of burning. The shooters did not know what they were firing, but were merely required to give marks for recoil. They were unanimous in assigning the lowest recoil to the cartridges with the fastest-burning powder, the dynamical effect of which was checked throughout by electric accelerometers built into the stocks of the guns, and their conclusions have since been widely confirmed." Gough Thomas, "Shotguns and Cartridges for Game and Clays", p. 155.
Larry;
Answer me one question completely "Honestly"; do you still describe this as a "Blind" test. If so then any further discussion is totally worthless. That description of nine experienced shooters firing "Thousands" of rounds through guns equipped with Accelerometers is Certainly not describing a Blind test.
If you will concede this one point then I will copy & quote this last challenge to me in a new post & give what I believe will be a meaningful answer. As long as you continue to change your stories as often as one of the "Minnesota Fats" cue balls caroming off the rails of a pool table then answering is useless. I give you an answer & you change the Question to make me "Appear" wrong, not matter what I say.
