12.2 gr 2400 in military brass, avg velocity = 1255, SD = 8.49, Group = .871"
coal = 3.188 but YMMV

I keep trying to log on to the site and get timed out.
I yam on a 24k dial up. Is that it?
Forum: Group Buy Archives
Not being critical here, just wondering about the math.
5 x 50k = 250k
I thought the .30 GB was like 470K. I don't know about .35 since I am not a contributor.
Clarification?
