I posted the results in another thread but I'll put them here too just in case.
I just came back from the range after testing my loads through the chronograph. The results of the tests are below as well as some video. I managed to capture some really nice flames. Some of the stills are posted below too.
I had a few shots that were 3000fps so I removed them from the string. I think the shock wave was moving the chrono and skewing the results.
