Thanks Paul, I will for sure!
When I shot the Outlaw 220's the first time a few weeks ago, it was at 25 yard targets and no suppressor. This is when I noticed two things, first, the Outlaw 220's were slightly faster out of the barrel then the SMK's. The second thing I observed is that suppressor made them even slightly more fast. My initial load was 9.6 grains of N110 and there was no key holing observed with or without the suppressor.
Given the SMK's performance, I think we can say that suppressor alignment is most likely OK. I would like to think that given how tight of a pattern that the Outlaw 220's gave me at 100 yards and previous tests showing no tumbling at 25 yards, then the tumbling did not start until well past 25 yards.
I don't have my COAL for the Outlaw 220's. What I did was load my SMK's first to a COAL of 2.26. Then, I seated the Outlaw's with the same settings "assuming" the distance from the lands would be about the same for both projectiles. My cartridge checker from SSK showed that they would chamber fine meaning they were not touching the lands.
Given my lack of experience, what can be expected? If there were a baffle strike, I would not have expected such a tight pattern developing at 100 yards. Thanks again for your help and great customer service.
