So I scrubbed and went out to check the load. Still shot like hell.
So back to the drawing board. I ran a shot string from 34.1 to 36.1 in .2 increments this morning of the usual charge weights, and the results were identical to the previous two shot strings of the same charge weights. No matter how I slice it the nodes are right there at 2850'ish and 2920fps. Three for three is pretty conclusive.
Number 10 and 11 is 35.7 and 35.9grs. I've been loading 35.8.
Number 3, 4, and 5 is 34.5, 34.7, and 34.9 all within 12fps of each other.
So I'm on the node. I'm going to rule out that the load isn't right and figure reloading practices are good.
At the top of the list for my suspicions is an issue with this barrel. Its giving me inconsistent pressures.. I hope that isn't the case and I stumble on something I havent thought of yet. But ideas are getting thin on the ground.
