This most recent same day test is with my Atlas Chaos using identical ammo (range brass). Results have been similar with my other guns in outside temps between 29 - 104F. I've seen bigger differences between lots of the same powder. Just 30 degree swing. I know guy that done freezer test. Hotter it gets the faster it gets.maybe u just lucky or I’m ocd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer-x Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 2 things I notice with these results. 1st 10 shot group @ 39F temp is with small pistol primers and has a 70 ES. Something was off (inconsistent) with the loading of these rounds - most likely powder drops. 2nd group is smaller 6 shot string using small rifle primers. ES is at the top end of OK, but rifle primers will yield higher velocities with lower ES. Here are results of a primer comparison test I did using SPP, SPM & SRP in otherwise identical loads. Barrel was not clean at start and gun was allowed to cool between strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
