Interesting stuff--

Looks to me, just reading your charted information at face value, like your 7.0 load is only 10 fps below the GDHP in your G19--plenty good for a practice load.

I also wonder what made for the dips. How many of each load did you chronograph?

I notice your loads were tested at 70 degrees F. Do you have some saved up to test on a warm day? I understand that "people say" this powder is quite temp sensitive, but, I wonder if dangerously so. Might be you don;'t WANT to load much hotter when the temp's about 80 or 85.

Let us know results of your testing, and, please, try to keep the fingers and eyes as originally arranged.

Best,
Johnny
