Jonathan, I'm glad that you've taken energy and inspiration from my method of pellet/slug organization and am eager to provide more detail!
No. My theory is that leading in the barrel with a specific type would bias the highly scientific method I have perfected. I want to keep the barrel, and my range notebook, guessing.
I take meticulous notes on each shot, and then use unsupervised machine learning algorithms, primarily K-nearest-neighbors, to group shots.
By back mapping this to my log of dumped pellets, I can best-effort categorize any given pellet
No! But this is an excellent suggestion and a machine-vision model, using these images, would almost cenrtainly assist in the aforementioned pellet identification process. I'm skeptical of the impact of skirt deformation, generally, but you are absolutely correct that it is a ground state prior I should account for more thoroughly.
Absolutely not. This method attempts to optimize for the perfect pellet, without bias for method of propulsion.
You've lighted on one..., flaw is strong but wrinkle is certainly apt, in my method.
As my meticulously handled pellet collection increases in raw N, and cardinality, my sample sizes increase non linearly. However, the point of the hobby is sending lead (or non-lead alloy!) down range, no? I see this as a line extension benefit
No, and frankly I'm embarassed I hadn't incorporated this technique. High benefit, low lift. Thank you for the suggestion!
As many as it takes, statistically.
I'm purely competing with myself -- chasing perfection. Therefore, when I attain a programmatically identified maximal group, I pack the bucket up and head home.. satisfied that I have done all that I can do.
My fundamental experience at public ranges is that other shooters rarely have the dedication that I imbue from bucket purchase to model training run. In fairness, the palette of public ranges I'm allowed to shoot at has decreased but the remaining options would welcome tannerite pellets.
Your questions have been engaging, and the iterative process will help me improve my methods. Thank you for the time
It is never the equipment, it is always the man. If I blame my bucket for my failures, who will I blame when I cross the river styx?
The true joy, and entrance to mystery, is when thr primary bucket is empty and the secondary bucket rises, like the mythical Phoenix, to assume that position
Always,
