Just ran some over the chrono. Wind was so bad that it blew my target stand over and the chrono was blown over once so I decided not to shoot targets. I wanted to see what my velocities would be as compared to before. Here are the numbers. Sorry I don't have any targets to share:

Before:

2-12-12
38 deg. F
70gr. RL 25
162 A-max

2,965 fps average velocity

Today:
Same load average velocity was 2,975 fps. It was 57 deg F today and I'm sure I was using a different lot# on the powder. I was actually surprised my average velocity was more today than before.

Here's how the 160gr. Partitions performed:

69gr. RL 25 @ 2,946 FPS

69.5gr. RL 25 @ 2,998 FPS

70gr. RL 25 @ 3,013 FPS

70.5gr. RL 25 @ 3,030 FPS

Didn't have any error readings on the chrono today, which actually surprised me. I also don't have any before speeds for the 160gr. Nosler partitions. Speeds look promising as I said in my earlier post. I'll shoot these loads to see which one is the most accurate the next time out. Honestly, there was no way to shoot targets today as my target stand and the wind were not cooperating!!!!!
