No chamfering or deburring
Tumbled cases

Taper Crimp - .474
Temp - 51, Windy...18mph
Avg Vel - 2234, High - 2399, Low - 2167 (2399 was wayyyy off the others....chrono error?)
Group size - 3"
NO SOOTING!!! unbelievable!!

2nd set
Lil Gun - 39.5g
Same type of cases - this time case length was 1.695...that's the only difference except the powder charge.
Everything else exact as above.
