First of all, let me say It’s a BADDD idea to reload ammunition when you’re tired. So I load up 100 rds of 175 MKs with 44.0 gr of Varget which has given me 2670 fps out of a 22” barrel. I recently had my barrel cut down to 20” to reduce oal with suppressor. So I grab my ammo boxes to put the reloads in and realize my load was 44.5 grs, not 44.0 gr of Varget. Great! Not only have I reduced my velocity having barrel length reduced, now I threw a reduced charge. Oh well. So I went out and fired some groups for a new zero and turns out it really liked that load. In the pic you’ll see my first round hit a bit left on the center bull and the next 2 rds were pretty close. I then fire 3 shot groups from upper left to right then lower left to right. When I retrieved the target I realized my rifle had fired rds 2 thru 14 easily into 1/2 moa before I thru the 15th round out. Turned out pretty good
