So after borrowing my uncles chronograph and getting use to it with an airsoft gun inthe house, shooting a 22LR over it to verify its working when I went out shooting. I shot my big gun across it and got this data with only 1 error per string (my fault, missed back sensor) by the way its a Shooting Chrony Beta Master.
Data below is

Sorry the chart/graph looks rough it won't turn out as good as it looks in Excel
So my problem is I can't figure out why my ES is so High. I am very meticulous when loading. Does anyone else have a 338 RUM that they have loaded for and recorded data on.
This load shot tighter groups in the summer heat than the winter cold, unfortunately I didn't have access to a Chrono in the summer.
How are anyone elses loads, do you get as tight of spread as you hear others brag about or is this just what I get.
