Excellent range report Grayfox !
Thanks for doing the COAL test in the fashion that you did.
You may just have disproven my hunch that the bullets were setting forward under live fire....
My video obviously shows I can hand feed the 105s and can extract them with little effort - under bolt sent home feeding I have to use moderate force to extract them - under live fire I have to use heavy force to extract.
So using your data I guess it is possible that the Proof barrels may be on the small or short side ...... I may have to eat crow yet if Hornady is not at fault for these 105 issues .
Keep us posted on brass life - especially primer pockets - hopefully we can get 7-8 firings out of brass at full velocities .
