Putting it here not to confuse any new members.

Nice day so I decided to send some through the chronograph and find out if the darn thing still worked. I guess it did.
All charges are 100grs WEIGHT of BH209.
I sized up some 200gr FTX bullets just to foul up the bore good. Figured I'd send them through the chrono.
Next up were the 300gr XLD's that I sized with a loading force of 15#. Same charge of 100grs weight. Now I know why I size these bullets to only 9# in a clean barrel. They loaded pretty stiff with two hands even. I watched the gage and I was well into the upper 30's for force. I seated every bullet at 50# using the gage.
I can't seem to get my SD lower.......
