[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1589943, member: 104268"] The data is not flipped. Not really sure what happened there. My typical ES/SD for 8 rounds (2 groups) is ~20/10. With my new batch of sig brass, I only have 13 rounds downrange, with an ES of 17 and SD of 6. I do not know anyone who can shoot better than me. I'm in a small town, so I'm unlikely to find anyone either. I'm happy with my results. The rifle averages ~0.8 MOA with the ELDM all the way out to ~700 yds. It's actually averaging about 0.7 MOA at 1000 yds, but that's only from 3 measured groups, so it's pretty meaningless. My results on steel at that distance suggest a bit over an MOA or so (can get 9 outa 10 on a 16" plate on a calm day). Most of the data presented is not from load development, it's from drop confirmation, temperature sensitivity experiments, and just plain old practice and fun. Previously it was a Sig Tango4 6-24. That died a horrible death, and was replaced under warranty with a Whiskey 5-25, which seems peachy, but I've got less than 50 rounds with it. [SIZE=14px]This barrel has ~1000 rounds on it, so I think it's broke in...This thread has drifted pretty far from my original query about new brass... I too like experiments and shooting, so I'll likely revisit some of the ladder testing and seating. I'm fairly certain it will turn out like it has the dozen other times I've tried it, but I'll enjoy the process and maybe get lucky and find the elusive "node"...[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
