Batch testing takes place at ELEY’s specialist Customer Range, based in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands UK. The facility allows all shooters from around the world the opportunity to make a selection of a “matched batch” of Tenex. Testing takes place with either rifle or pistol.

Batch testing involves shooting strings of 10 rounds through each barrel, which is clamped to a concrete base by a heavy vice.  There is a wide selection of rifle clamping equipment to complement most rifle types, to help create realistic results and replicate match conditions as far as possible. After shooting all batches, the second, third and final groups are shot. The final 40 shot group is used to help the shooters select the best match to their barrel.

ELEY’s leading edge patented software allows the results to be analysed in a simple, quick and very accurate method. Shooting onto an optical target system, the shots are measured on a computer system and appear on a monitor display. The image builds up to show the group sizes. The aim with batch testing is to identify the best match to your barrel and achieve consistency,
