That's it, thanks. I couldn't remember the mold, but the 358156 seems to jog my memory. I do specifically remember Skeeter answering a question about him using 2400 vs Unique. I am sure Skeeter wrote that 2400 gave him better accuracy when reaching the velocity he wanted. I don't quite remember what else he wrote, but accuracy at velocity was the main reason, ifI remember right. He was real definite about this combination of results.
