Gun Fool
Why didn't I think of that?...Well, I just did.
CYA gun fool friends:
There's so much, pardon me, horse manure floating around the Internet about how a muzzle device works that, no wonder so many folks are totally confused......
Enough of that.......
The muzzle of a gun barrel is stopped when the exact center of the "parallel node" is at the exit of the crown.
But.................
The parallel node has a working length........
One can have killer accuracy so long as you remain inside this working length..
But, if you don't have the exact center of the parallel node at the exit of the crown, when you have an excessive velocity round you step out of that protective length and receive a double whammy..............
The double whammy being, the vertical dispersion at the target by the excessive velocity round, plus, a now oscillating muzzle.
_____________________________________
Therefore..............................
How does one determine if they have the "exact center" of the "parallel node" at the exit of their crown?
In other words, having their muzzle stopped.

CYA friends............
After all these years, and after devising a couple of different methods of how to determine if I had my muzzle stopped.....
Today I finally figured out how......................
Why in the name of the Almighty didn't I see this before today.....................??????
And I invented the muzzle device almost 30 years ago..............
This contraption pictured above, with its Muller 4-MI barrel, that I killed with a stainless cleaning rod a few years back, is so unbelievably accurate, that it's allowed me to finally figure out how to determine when I have the "exact center" of the "parallel node" at the exit of the crown............with my MD setting.........
I feel like a bumbling fool for not seeing this years ago................
I've got to do some pondering as to how I go about revealing this information......
Your gun fool friend, Bill Calfee

No, as absolute killer as the contraption in the above picture is, it won't run with what you've got....
