Thumbs up Finally Got Actual Data

OK.......... I finally got some results that I can believe, not necessarily great results but OK.

Personally, IMO, it was the highly reflective overhead door (in background of image) that was throwing off the chrono. Sure, 15ft is better than the 5-10ft (recommended from the owner's manual), but truly think the former is more likely than the latter. After all, both the 686 and 627PC did well at the shorter gun/chrono distances, and WITHOUT any chrono cover/shield.

Bottom line is that I thought I would get better FPS results at 7.7gr of HS6 with the 2in. LEE goes to 7.8gr of HS6 and Hornady goes as high as 8.1grains. I probably will NOT go that high because with this light load I get a lot of powder residue/buildup. There has to be a cleaner alternative.

*Poor Kimber haters, just watch as others start to copy the ergonomic aspects of the K6S, much less the 6-round vs 5-round capacity in a small frame. IMO, this is a game changer.
