I was out and about when I replied with the speed numbers. ok it was 8.1 SD across all strings. Max velocity was 2836 and average 2823. So Yeah they were moving. To compare, the generic reloads I brought to zero with were in the neighborhood of 2630 quite a bit slower. Just to make sure, I cleaned the chamber and ran a few fired cartridges back through to see if they were still as stiff and it seemed to have no effect at all. So they are too hot. Good thing Ive gotten pretty good at the bullet puller. Maybe by the end of next week I will have the rail for my 6.5 CM build and actually get to shoot it.

So Ill back it down and start over. There is a gun show in Little Rock next week end I may run down there and see what kind of powder I can find. Oh and the vortex range finder. VERY nice. Now I dont have to mil dot everything.
