NOTICE:  The spread in velocities evident in the loads on this page may not be as extreme as they may appear.  The shooting for these ballistics was done over a 4 month period...from late summer into early fall.  Becasue of variables like humidity and temperatures, we will continue to shoot these loads through other weather extremes and refine as we go.  Due to such weather variables, typical average velocities with the same loads will commonly vary as much as 50 to 60 f.p.s. from the coldest and dryest to the hottest and dampest conditions.  So, check back often to note any changes.  -  Toby Bridges
