Loaded another round w/ 44 grains VV N 160 and kept everything vertical & the velocity was close to the last two shots yesterday. So powder was being blown out.

Reset scales, using 2 different ones(Kat Certified of course), and double-checked a load @ 40 grains VV N 160 - Velocity was a small spread and centred around 3200 ft/s.

Really need a bulkier powder that better fills the case just before a compressed load.


Hochachtungsvoll,
