Thanks so much to my wonderful wife for taking us through the data she made this video much more entertaining than me going on about groups and velocities with bad excuses.
These groups are admittedly not as good as they could be. I will take the loads with good velocity data and try them again. I didn’t have a stable shooting position as well as being sloppy behind the trigger. So, there is still lots of excellent data here like which bullet powder combos produce low SDs and apparently 55 Vmax will shoot good no matter what. RL-15 finally gives a good performance with the Sierra 69g as well as surprising velocities with H322 I never expected 3,000 FPS with that powder pushing a 69g bullet and a single digit SD no less! The Hornady 75 BTHP faces off with the 73 ELD with the same loads for comparison so pay attention to the velocity data between those two!
