Its definitely peppier but with standard lot to lot variations, not to mention the impact primer choice has, its hard to quantify it. Yesterday morning, I loaded up a ladder experiment using 36-39gr 2016 Lil Gun and 245gr, Brass, Lehigh Extreme Penetrators with the hopes of testing yesterday. I included a Control Group of 250 FTX over 38gr of the same powder, taper crimped to .476 (since the 250 FTX is smooth sided). So, we'll see how the 250 does over 38gr of LG. I also loaded up two steps of W296 for giggles. Unfortunately, about the time I went to leave for the range, it began raining.
So all my gear is still staged through the house, on a line to the garage, waiting to be packed in the truck. Of course, today is a
Blue Jay Purdy Day but its Mom's day and homage must be paid.
All Freakin' Day Tomorrow is supposed to be the same nice weather but its a work day. So its either blow a vacation day tomorrow or wait and hope it doesn't rain next weekend. Very frustrating.
