Help! I've lost 500fps!

[Mr Fudd]

This might be obvious to the more experienced reloaded however I've somehow lost 500fps from .22-250 home load

When I started developing my load I got to 33.2 grains of varget using a 50 grain hornady ballistic tip head which chronographed at 3550fps which checks out about right

However when I started doing my ranging I noticed it was shooting an inch higher than it should at its peak, I checked everything again and when I've chronographed the new batch they are running at 3050fps so I obviously though I'd messed up the powder weight somehow however I've pulled the heads on several and they are all correct?

I've not changed anything so where else could I have went wrong??

Check the chronograph?

Wrong weight bullet. Sometimes, stuff happens.

You chopped 10" off the barrel

Have you looked down the back of the sofa?

I'm always losing stuff down there.

From your original load:

Are you using the same manufacturer brass?
Are you seating heads to same depth?
Are you using the same primers?
Are you using the same manufacturer heads?
