  • The Standard Deviation was much better in the Tango than SC1
  • Ammo shot better in the Tango as well
  • Just a bit less velocity from the shorter barrel, likely the tighter chamber helps here
  • This load isn’t horrible out of the Tango. Still not close to match grade

NOTE: “Accuracy with flyers” includes the raw averages including groups where the shooter called a bad shot before rechecking the placement of that shot. The “average without flyers” is the average group size with those “flyer” groups not added in.
