    After what can only be described as an incredibly frustrating session at the range plagued by chrono issues there may be at last progress.
    I had big issues getting the chrono to work properly so much so that the lower end of my ladder was pretty much useless.
    I kept getting bogus readings (literally 1000fps out low) and error messages, accuracy seemed to be inconsistent and I was starting to get really pissed off and contemplated packing up and calling it quits for the day
    Finally about half way up my ladder the chrono seemed to be cooperating and the groups for the most part started to show some promise.
    Unfortunately I still got some errors on my 2 best groups which meant I could only calculate E.S from 2 rounds on both but the velocities were consistent with charges of the same or very close to the same weight yesterday with the Starline brass.
    As far as consistent E.S goes this combo certainly has a sweet spot around 59gn
    I need to load a few more up and try get some more data and hopefully similar groups, I note that the P.O.I from yesterday's 59gn group is consistent with todays 59.1n group and also the velocity is about right too considering the charge weight is.1gn more.
    Anyway I'll load up pics shortly of the top half of the ladder. Hopefully ge a few more loaded today and get back to the range this afternoon.

    57.9gn
