Hatcher and Ackley did some very interesting testing 'back in the day'.

I don't claim to have a tenth of their knowledge or expect to discover anything new. Just hoping to bring some information into the digital age. For shooters who (sadly) have never heard of folks like Hatcher or Ackley.

I've only read Hatcher's Notebook and haven't looked at anything by Ackley. The stuff that Hatcher did was more empirical rather than what would be classed as scientific today - he was largely trying things without have a predetermined, expected, calculated result to compare against, but I guess that's how most practical discoveries are made.

I'm sure firearm manufacturers engineer the appropriate safety margins in their design but they'll never divulge this information - I guess for legal reasons for not wanting to have blame their way if someone modifies based on their data.
