Yes. Plenty of blind tests and positive results but with long range shooting any single point in time can be washed out by environmental or other conditions. Like shooting your best ones in twitchy conditions or bad mirage then when you get to the bad ones the conditions settle. It's hard to compare the two because you know they're not comparable. So it's not a reliable test :( The main noticeable difference is the reduction in unexpected fliers that don't go where they should for a bad wind read or a typical user error. The ones where you adjust on it thinking it was a good shot and the next shot is out the other side by the exact same amount. The fun of long range shooting :)
That;s a very impressive machine you have there ,is the measurement of difference in a specific length ie inches or millimetres or is it a measurement of resistance, also have you considered shooting a five shot group using four good ones and one bad one to see what the difference is
There are no measurement units specified as such for it. Different projectile diameters have different base sensitivity on the device so units specified for one projectile won't hold true for another. There's enough sensitivity in the device that I can zero one 22cal projectile and then put one on from another brand and have it go completely off scale. The variations that it's picking up are a combination of diameter variations and internal thickness variations (which you correctly guess shows up as resistance). Because of that I haven't worked to isolate the diameter variations nor the internal thickness variations. That's too much work for a home hacker but in reality it's not necessary to do that to sort projectiles.
Have you fired 'good' ones vs 'bad' ones for visible results?
