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?
There's also the simple fact that lower velocity rounds exit later in the recoil cycle. Certainly in pistol shooting, high strikes are generally a sign of reduced velocity.
