I did not check rounds twice in a row to see if the bullets creeped even further. I will give that a try next time I shoot. I rode the bolt home after I measured the creep and loaded them back into the magazine. Honestly, if I had a bolt action, I would load them longer and use the 39gr load. They were nicely grouped.
Did you load any higher? I was ok with my pressures at 40gr of lil gun, but obviously keep an eye on them. My groups started to tighten up at 39 but 39.5 and 40 have consistently been the best. And there’s little variation between the two in terms of accuracy (precision) and speed. So that’s a desirable load because it’s tolerant of variations.
I’ve been getting higher speeds through my chrono, but am also shooting at 6500’, so that’s not terribly surprising. They’ve also been very warm days, so we will see how sensitive the LG is to cold temps.
What scopes are you guys using? I’m using a 2-7x hunting scope so I know that’s a limiting factor for me too.
EDIT: I just noticed that both of you are using H110 and I’m using lil gun, so ignore my comment about comparing grain amounts.
