I love range testing! Do you record weather conditions when testing? Things such as temperature, humidity, ect.?

Thanks, Hi-Speed for reconsidering posting your findings. I have used that same Unique load in a snub, I will have to dig up those numbers and compare to your longer barrel. If my memory serves, I think I was getting just over 900. Thanks again.
