Default Range Report on My first reloads.
A few weeks ago I started reloading and this was the first test of the reloads.

only shot a few rounds of each, And to my amazement everything went smooth, No trouble cycling and no failures of any.

A buddy did show up and was able to get some data on the reloads and they all were within 10-15FPS of what they should be, so all in all a good day.

Oh yeah scored and around 300 rounds of brass laying around in the bay to start the day off....WOO HOO.

Worst grouping of the day Unique powder 4.7gr


First 2 shots of the day just to make sure nothing blows up. then 5 shot group lower part of target. Unique 5.1gr


And the best 2 groupings was with Winchester WSF 5.0gr



All shots were at 20' and using my S&W M&P VTAC 9mm
