[Excel Chart Help?]

See if this is close to what you are looking for. I created a double axis graph with the PF on the left side and Gr on the right. The numbers across the horizontal axis (1, 2, 3, etc) simply represent each of the scenarios. If you want the Excel chart file itself, send me a PM; the forum does not allow Excel files uploaded due to security and virus concerns:

[Excel Chart Help?]

I am busy developing a ton of loads, and thought it would be interesting to see them on a chart in Excel. I am thinking that the vertical column {x axis}could be grains of powder, and the horizontal {y axis} could be the resulting PF achieved with whatever loads I was developing that day. Being able to see the increase on a chart would be nice, but I am brain fried trying to figure it out with Office. I have 2003 and 2007 at hand, and neither way is it obvious to me on how to get this chart created. Any Excel masters available? Thanks in advance, - Chris

If you send me some of your raw data, I will make you a sample chart showing the table of data and the resulting chart. Let me know what kind of chart you want (bar, line, etc.). I will then "take a picture" of the resulting chart and upload it to a reply message within this same thread.

[DVD Recommendations Wanted - New Shooter]

Thanks for a lot of recommendations Guys. I'll check them all out.

[DVD Recommendations Wanted - New Shooter]

I am new to pistol shooting. I just purchased a new Kimber Gold Match II (.45ACP) and want to be sure I begin my shooting WITHOUT creating bad habits at the line. Initially I want to learn the fundamentals of the grip, stance (for basic target shooting; no fancy footwork), sight alignment, etc. Can you recommend a DVD and/or books that would do a great job for someone new to the sport?

Additionally, I have heard conflicting opinions about the harmful effects of dryfiring. I understood that dryfiring is ok with a centerfire; in fact, if I read the Kimber manual correctly, they say to NOT slowly drop the hammer but instead pull the trigger to lower a cocked hammer. I did hear dryfiring is not a good idea with a rimfire (like the S&W 41 I have ordered).

Thanks!

How about splitting the costs of a 550B (or whichever one you select) with another local shooter or shooters? That would reduce the costs for each participant.
