What did you discover when firing in AI mode from STD mode? Increase in powder 1.5-2gr?

I would use a 10-12" drop tube to begin with.

The 100V has a very cool burn rate and will give 30% more barrel life vs the R#17.

Good job! That's a great way to start a new barrel (and some pretty good shootin' too!).
