    Or, simply adjust your expectations.
    Garbage. All of the data can't be incorrect. I expect to achieve an accurate 100gr load with no pressure signs at around 3200fps. There's shit loads of data and real world experience to support this. Some of which is kindly posted in this thread.
    Whether I achieve that with stabal 6.5 is yet to be decided.
