Great photos and good shooting. It's a good thing you found that tip. Wouldn't have tasted too good in a roast!

I haven't yet weighed the 250 SST but I will soon, but the 140 accubond weighed 89 grains, I can't remember the formula for calculating % but I think it was around 63%. I will get back on the weight of the SST.

Ranger66, The formula for the retained wgt of your bullets is todays weight divided by last Thursdays weight.
(Retained wgt over initial wgt = % retained........ )
