weird one, losing 500fps seems almost impossible without maybe having used a much slower powder in the second set of loads.

Soot on the cases?
Flashheart you are exactly right, first batch chrono avg 3550fps zeroed at 200 yards, 1" high peak at 130 yards, yet with the new batch chrono avg 3060fps! and its 2" high at 125 yards!!??

Going to clean the barrel and then I'm starting my powder loads again as something is definitely a miss!
