That was my point earlier, was this custom loaded ammo where the bullets were sorted by weight, diameter, length and brass sorted, etc or was this something like factory ammo, be it Lake City (since this was for the government) or off the shelf ammo like Remington or Winchester?
All of that plays into the data that the test produces. He did not say how they did it and maybe each round was produced to BR standards. I guess I would like to know a little more about how the test was done just to get a clearer picture.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
