Didn't notice this before..... but it looks like you found your signs of pressure.

Classic example of without a chrony.... you're just guessin'. Even after you've got the chrony... it's just a informed guess.

yeah i did see signs of pressure with rl22 but nothing else ive shot has . retumbo and h1000 just didnt shoot under an inch so its not for me . im still getting a chrono though for kicks , ill just tell my wife its for safety measures , lol .
