You're welcome...
Don't know if others weigh the powder for every load as I do...

I'd post a picture of my bench but the mess would be laughable. The bench itself is barely visible.

Are those compressed loads ?

RE: Neatness of benches and desks, a former colleague - noted among other things one with a very busy desk - had a sign over the desk the sign said:

"Those who keep a neat desk will never know the joy of finding something once thought to be irretrievably lost."

Alas, I occasionally experience that joy, but more frequently suffer the irretrievable part.

What muzzle velocity are you getting with these loads?

Im using A2520 with a 97gn Hammer and thinking of trying a heavier bullet sometime.

Low 2400s in the 18 inch barrel and 2490s in the 22 inch barrel...

good to know, thank you. At some point I will try some heavier bullets so its good to estimate velocities.

I was able to use a chronograph for the 22 inch barrel for 10 rounds and all velocities were high 2480s and low 2490s...
