Report of Experiments, 1875

[Ironramrod]

It also looks like the only calibers tested were either .44 or .45 calibers based on the heavy bullets used, and also the heavier loads seemed to perform better at the longer ranges. No real surprise there either to go along w/ the hard alloy bullets.

However, maybe I'm just having a "dumb day" or something, but I've studied the tables presented in the report 3 times today; I'm still on square #1. For what should be simple to understand parameters I can't seem to figure out what the data presented really says. More headings above the columns and more explanation might help. Any of you guys that got the tables figured out please give me some help here.
