    Yes considerable pressure difference for sure. What’s weird and it may just be me is that when shooting the unique I hear the bang and I swear I hear it hit the backing of the target a second later vs using the 4895 and having just a huge bang

    Good shooting! I'm curious- what rifle are you shooting your .308 loads in?

    Good old Remington 700 bull barrel. Made in 07 based on the serial number.

    Thank you. Work in progress. Would love to try different cast 308’s like the 200g made in a Lyman 299314?!? But hard to come by in Canada. Even used.

    I did a load of unique to hone and it came out that 9gr was the best for my rifle.

    Are your boolits wobbling a little?

    I did notice the bottom two holes are connected but far enough they shouldn’t be. Maybe not going fast enough.

    I'd imagine that could just be the paper tore when the second boolit impacted.
