Straight - walled cases? HeDog asked

HeDog, you are prob. right. I'm not sure if the case wall is straight (at any given spot) but not vertical (or parallel to the rest of the wall) if you should still call it a straight walled case. Hmmmm, got to ponder this one a bit. Normally, the term is used to describe cases that are not bottlenecked.Blokey, re: your comment on accuracy not requiring precision NUTS!!! By that analogy, if you had 1 foot in a block of ice and the other in a pail of boiling water, you should be quite comfortable.

    Your analogy is not quite the same; you're considering the hot and cold separately. If they were mixed together, yes, you will achieve a average or equilibrium that would be "comfortable". Each bullet in the group is not considered individually, they are analyzed as a group.It may not seem to be accurate, but technically it is.Consider this group of numbers: 6, 7, 14, and 13. The average is 10. IF you were trying to achieve 10, you would, therefore you would be accurate. However, the SD = 4.08, so your %RSD is 40.8, which would be considered poor precision.[This message has been edited by Blokey (edited 01-10-2002).]

    Shootist, Yeah I knew what a straight walled cartridge is, it just suddenly struck me funny to be talking about taper in a straight walled cartridge.And I agree accuracy requires precision in the terms we have used. Blokey is defining the terms differently.
