    No, just the order I marked them in the app. It's a normal looking reasonably round group. Nothing much to see

    @gimp I had 10 but couldn’t see the value in firing any more. That looked ok to me. It was a bit windy.

    If been messing around with CFE223 in my 223 a bit. It has not been a very successful powder for me until I switched out to magnum primers. I think these fine powders needs a bit of spark for better ignition, like ball powder. 27g CFE and magnum primers with 65g Sierras is shooting well now in my 10-twist 223. 3024fps. Low ES

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Hold together and exit. The peel back of the petals seems to be very rapid and looks to be a big jaggered frontal area. Although I’ve shot 4 with them, they have all exited, so I don’t really know.
