There you go.
Still not convinced a wad can damage the pattern?

I am!

I am!
B. :hatsoff:

So why doesn't it do so? That is the question! :grin:

But it does for us mere mortals, you are special and the exception and I mean that pleasantly :hatsoff:

SkyChief, when you mention your "vacuum"theory, as you have in the past as well, my 1st thought is more like "drafting" as Spence beat me to. Like tailgating a semi on the highway to save gas.

The other thought I've been having of late while reading all these posts on the subject is to question if the resistance of the tight fitting heavy wad isn't acting somewhat like a choke? I guess kind of like a jug choke? Meaning. The pressure of the gasses driving the shot and wad column forward is compressing the shot load against the resistance of the heavy wad. Could that compression be maintained after exiting the muzzle leading to denser patterns?

Where is our friend with the fancy high speed photography equipment?

Technically it's not a vaccum....it's a burble..an area of no or little air resistance . If it was a vaccum race car drivers would suffocate

 

[coloradoclyde]

A bullet creats a vaccum behind it when it passes though a solid object like a body....because no air can pass over the sides of th bullet

I would like to take this opportunity to thank RogerWYO for being the catalyst of this spirited, head-scratcher of a thread.

"Thanks Roger"! :haha:

Brokkennock, I follow what you are asking, but, I sure don't know. :idunno:

Back to regular programming...

Best regards, Skychief :hatsoff:

Interesting Gazette excerpts Spence.

Sounds like boys were boys back then and people haven't changed much since that time, in some ways. :hmm:

Best regards, Skychief

 

[Brokennock]

Ya. I get it. Meant to imply that it's not so much a vacuum as it is a pocket of little to no air resistance.

What ranges and shot sizes were involved?
