So there is alot of experimentation that goes into load development...from rifles to pistols...brass types, alloy, powder, charge weight, seating depth, crimp, primer type, primer seating depth, sizing dies, neck sizing only/FL sizing, bullet size, chber casts, bore slugs and a pinch of eye of newt and lizard tongue.........to name a few.
Question i have is why is there so much preference in a mechanical object like a gun? It's almost of they have feelings or are picky eaters like my 3 year old...
My hypothesis is that there are way too many minute factors in play with how barrel harmonics and internal ballistics effect the accuracy producing variables that it would equate to tomes of data for each rifle to factor into repeatable process...so much so that simple trial and error is the quickest way to accuracy we can reasonably get.
But...is that the case? Has anyone looked into the variables and given some thought to what causes individual gun preference? Even two identical rifles produce different outcomes with the same load (it may be closer than different makes ie. Rem 700 vs Savage 110 in same caliber... but it's still different)
What causes this and where should I read up to scratch this curious itch I have to look into?
