    Outstanding. Have you been able to retest them to make sure they are consistent. What kind of velocities are you getting with all of those loads?

    Something happened with the Grendel, went to the range and got my dope to 600 yards with the rest I had loaded, loaded up 50 more after sending 5 down at 600 and not hitting steel dropped back to 300 and was hitting 5 minutes low, the only difference between the days was 10 degrees cooler and old brass vs newer brass, 4 reloads old brass and 1 reload newer brass.
    Every else was the same, same power lot, 40 of the 50 round were from the same box of bullets.
    Haven't had the chance to check velocity on any of them yet

    That sucks about the Grendel. Ive definitely had loads that acted up like that. Back to the drawing board. Glad the others behaved. If you ever get a chance to chrono those loads, let me know.

    Finally remembered that I needed to chrono some loads and had enough time to do it today.
    First picture is from a 20 inch barrel(DMR)
    Second picture is from 18 barrel(SPR)
    Temp was 35F
    Date was 2/4/20
    Still have room for improvement

    2” of barrel didn’t make much difference in velocity.
