    Interesting dispersion pattern @gimp. Do the numbers match the actual sequence of shots ?

    No, just the order I marked them in the app. It's a normal looking reasonably round group. Nothing much to see

    Hold together and exit. The peel back of the petals seems to be very rapid and looks to be a big jaggered frontal area. Although I’ve shot 4 with them, they have all exited, so I don’t really know.

    Have shot them through a few different 1:8's just fine. I think they will be OK in 1:9's too though I don't have one to check.
