]Today, I conducted another chrony test. This time, I was using the 50gr Hornady V-MAX.

Batch 2
24 grains of AR-COMP Powder

Shot 2- 2894
Shot 3- 2901

Shot 10- 2880
Average ft/s on Batch 2 = 2909ft/s with a standard deviation of 29.40
Batch 3
24.5 grains of AR-COMP Powder
Shot 1- 2967
Shot 2- 2916
Shot 3- 2958
Shot 4- 2948

Shot 3- 2023
Shot 4- 2987

Batch 5
25.3 grains of AR-COMP Powder
Shot 1- 3029
Shot 2- 3046
Shot 3- 3049
Shot 4- 3046
Shot 5- 3052
Shot 7- 3049
Shot 8- 3032
Shot 9- 3039
Shot 10- 3033
Average ft/s on Batch 5 = 3042ft/s with a standard deviation of 8.256
It is interesting that the instant I broke and maintained the 3,000ft/s mark on batch 5, the standard deviation tightened up TREMENDOUSLY. This tells me that this is my most accurate round when I go to the range. The others had too much of a deviation to be "the" accurate load for this round.
Thoughts?
