Thanks Mike. Apologies, I haven't smoked a case yet. Weather finally turned here, so I'll go to the range Monday to move a few projects forward. I'll also pre-measure some of the S&B ammo I have and then fire that so it can be measured again to see what's changed. The Merkel shoots so well with the S&B factory ammo, if worse comes to worst, I'll just stock up on that (one of my favorite online ammo retailers has 6 boxes in stock at $23/box.)
