Day 4 at the range:

All groups 5 shots except for the Blue Dot

Exploring whether adding a crimp serves any purpose.....

First up, again - IMR-4198

NO crimp and a slight taper crimp-

Next was RL-7

Curious, that Crimp/NO Crimp seems to have the opposite effect with this powder-

Finally Blue Dot - NO crimp

Top target is 10 shots-

DD didn't laff at me today when I shot the Blue Dot.....

All three powders will certainly do the job.

Will abandon the notion of a taper crimp at this point, might explore a sizing technique or two in the future........
