That's not all it rattled, did a lot of movement while shooting and the groups opened up a bit when I began pushing the split times. Didn't help that two of the powders had sticky chambers.Rattled yer teeth too much?

There are also OO and #4 buck penetration/crush cavity numbers for comparison between the the three types of ammunition using the Schwartz and MacPherson models.

Looking forward to seeing your tests.
