Thanks
Glad you now have your answer. At the very least, you now have a valuable data point.
Does this make much difference in a hunting scenario? Probably not. Going out to 800+ yards? Yeah, there will be a bit of difference between Shot #1 and Shots #1+n. This is one of the reasons why so many bench shooters hand feed their AR's, even when the rounds will fit in a magazine. Me? Steel targets don't seem to mind a couple of inches low/high, and I don't yet shoot in competitions, so it's magazines for my shooters.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
