cjd3, no, I wasn't getting color on paper, but wasn't really expecting to since the Sharpie had plenty of time to dry. I just color code my bullets so I can tell the various loads apart.

Mustang, I am a member and shoot at Cascade out by Maple Valley. Took me about 2 years to clear the wait list. It's a great range, yet I still dream of the day when I can shoot a few hundred yards on my own property.

Regarding velocities:

Nosler 77 gr Custom Competition over 24 gr Varget in Wolf once fired brass, R 7 1/2 primers was giving me ~2,592 w/ std of 20
Nosler 55 gr FBHP gave me about 3,000 fps with either 26 gr of TAC or 25 gr of H335
Factory Winchester .223 55gr gave me ~2,880

I probably have around 400 rounds through the barrel at this point, but don't really keep good track
