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

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.

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