Contender,
Sincerely appreciate the gracious welcome back. Traveling with my child bride and two dogs (and no computer) for six months was an "opportunity" and pleasure, but sure caused me to miss a lot.
In referencing the WC820, you have touched on a subject for which I have a guilty conscience. I promised Marshall I'd gather the WC820 post information and reformat for use in the Tech Notes section and I didn't get it done before leaving. So my plans are to do additional test with 2400/H4227 and combine the results with the initial H108/WC820/H110/W296 results. I plan on hitting the range (probably have to chip off the ice) tomorrow to get started again.
Thanks again and look forward to communicating with you again.

alyeska338,
Need to thanks you again for the Bowan book release information. I just received mine this morning and it exceeds all expectations---and I had high expectations. I feel comfortable in suggesting it will become a shooters bible and major reference.
And it's already paid for itself! Got back from the range very disappointed in my results. While I was skimming the new book, a picture caption caught my eye, "Regardless of bench-resting techniques, the butt must never contact the bench". The text goes on to explain that the shots will tend to string vertically due to variations in the gun's recoil cycle from shot to shot. Well guess what I was doing and guess what the results were.
Anyway, outstanding book that covers a lot of ground with great pictures (for people like me)

Alyeska338,
A "nicety" that also caught my eye is the book is autographed by the author. That always makes it a little more special.
As a side note, I just finished watching the Jerry Miculek VCR tape I also got today and it's fascinating. They show him practicing the draw and five shots with the clock set at 1.6 secs in slow motion. His trigger finger is absolutely, positively divorced from his hand. The hand doesn't move, the gun doesn't move and the finger is coming straight back 100 mph. What particuly struck me is his very sincere comment about evolving from 500+ shots per day "shoot for fun" style to a very analytical review of every action, however small. He repeated commented that if it doesn't add to the performance, don't do it. It was also interesting to hear him tell about shooting poorly at competitions and taking 1 1/2 days and 500/1000 rounds to get it analyzed and worked out. And even at that level, he indicated it frequently was the result of stress from the pressure. That makes shakey old me feel better.
And at the risk of showing my age, I'll admit I'm going to dream about that trigger finger tonight.
