0.2 variation is a lot better ...so I'm suspecting you did have some static issues. What is the minimum on the powder drop say for 1150 fps ....and the max say at 1250 fps ...and where does your goal drop fit into that range ?

As an example Hodgdon Clays ( 1 oz loads, REM STS hulls, WAA12SL wad, and WIN 209 primers - has a load at 15.7gr for 1125 fps ...my target load at 18.4gr for 1235 fps and a 19.8 gr for 1290 fps ....so I'm well within the high and low tolerance for the powder I choose to use.
