Sadly the "Land of Mullets" is a large area to guess at.Know anybody who's got a Magnetospeed? They're a little more reliable than screens.

I have one, not a mullet.

Tried same load. Used CCI BR small rifle primers in place of Federal 205M in original load.
Velocities were (In order of shots fired):
1-2936 fps
2-2957 fps
3-2928 fps
4-2948 fps
5-2952 fps
6-2966 fps
7-2960 fps
8-2917 fps
9-2954 fps
10-2958 fps
The good news is, there is an improvement over the older lot of primers. 49fps extreme spread.
The bad news (In my eyes) is, E.S. is still bigger than I am looking for. I need to take a hard look at my practices, and evaluate each step. There's some wiggle room in there somewhere.
Have not found Federal 205M at any of the 4 stores I looked at. Seem to be in short supply right now. Will try newer lot once I find em.
The reality is what the bullet/load actually does at distance is what counts.
Tried em. See post #12
Have new batch of 205m. Will give them a go when we head out next.

No compression. Aftermarket mags allow long bullet seating. Chamber requires it, as throat is silly long, and rifle shoots best when bullet is seated near lands. Long jump to rifling made poor accuracy.
At mid range (500 yards) no mystery misses. But there's the occasional flyer that's vertical out of the rest of the group.
The plan is to extend to 700-1000 yards this summer. At those ranges, the flyer at 500 will become a miss.
Until this long range bug bit me, I would never have cared. Groups are solid at short range. But we are asking more.
