The power is warm! Recoil on the 6.3gr was a little on the hard side, my standard load is 5.1gn N320 @ 835 fps, and it feels 'softer'.
As far as accuracy, i wasn't concentrating on grouping, just wanted to make sure the bullet path through the chronograph was consistent. I would expect it is more accurate than my abilities - lol
