    This is just so funny I thought I post it here:

    Just cracked open a new bottle of AR2209 and loaded up some 143gr ELD-X for the 6.5CM and went out to the farm. Lined up the first steel plate which is 433m away and is 31 clicks up - and missed way to high. Had to dial it back down to 28 clicks to hit the 20 x 20cm plate. Done some groups at 200, 300 and 400m on a sheet of ply and they suggest that the speed went from 2500fps from the old bottle to 2605fps with the new bottle. Changed the speed in my App and lined up the 615m plate - hit at first shot.

    Will definitely mix all the bottles from now on to average out the different batches...
