If I’m being honest though, I’d have really liked to see the accuracy variances along the way. With all the work that went into this, it just doesn’t seem like that much more work to me. Again though, very well done.

It would have been nice to see 100fps increments instead of 150.

Also the curve looks too smooth for the 250gr bullets. Lets see the actual data points!

I applaud the effort and its inclusion here. For future efforts I have a suggestion. Use ES since the sample sizes (four shots per load) are a tad lean for meaningful SDs.
