Yes there are hundreds of loads, but what have you noticed from your testing? Have any of those loads varied by 500fps from one round to another from the same box? How about 300fps?

I have chronoed factory ammo that is almost 300 FPS slower than what is written on the box. All of it was Nosler trophy grade. Velocity was confirmed with both my shooting chrony and magnetospee
I am more concerned with consistency from shot to shot, than with the actual velocity. I have seen loads produce more than 200fps less than listed on the box, but the velocity varied no more than 70fps or so, from shot to shot.
