Both groups shot at 100 yards. These were both on virgin brass, I'm guessing it will get better on subsequent firings.

What velocity were you getting with that load?

What velocity were you getting with that load?

This is on virgin brass in a brand new barrel Barrel hasn't sped up yet, so I expect this to increase:

57.5 - 2809 fps ES 13.8 Clean barrel, 4 fouler rounds.
57.8 - 2838 fps ES 18.6 Group .999
58.1 - 2855 fps ES 30.9 Group .474
58.4 - 2862 fps ES 9.8 Group .429
58.7 - 2887 fps ES 29.5 Group .789
59.0 - 2903 fps ES 24.2 Group .859
