Hornady 75bthp, chad's group buy special from a while ago
There was about 10 rounds per group, but I had some battery issues and did not get all them on the chrono. Since the lab radar was running low on juice I did not let the barrel cool as much as i should have or take my time and make sure my shooting was solid
I find the spread shifting up and down interesting. It is very clearly showing you where the nodes are. Also since I was shooting a little faster then i would have liked all the groups have a similar 10 round group of 1.5-2, but the best 3 are all 1in or lower.
the 24. 2 has a small cluster together then 2 rounds about 1in to the left so may have pulled those.
the 24.8 has some small cluster then a couple rounds 1 in high and one 1.25 in to the 10"o'clock from the main group
Think i am going to do a small batch of the 24.2 on the progressive and go back out and slow down a bit
