Update with range data.
What did you use for a bullet and charge weight? What was your the Lot# on the powder? Velocity?
I just got some of this and I'm hoping you've done part of the work for me.
I have all the info at home.. I don't dare post numbers off the top of my head. I'll post it for ya as soon as I can.
Ok, update with range information. Do your own homework, start low and work up. Any feedback is appreciated.

The 5.56 stuff seemed at least 100fps slow, assuming that the mil-spec velocity is for a 20" barrel.
