		I set up the chrono primarily to test Wild Bunch Loads since the loads tested in January were marginal. I wouldn't go to a match
		with a load with no safety margin. 160 is my comfortable minimum.
		The 125 gr. .38 Spcl loads are for knockdowns, primarily rifle, since I seldom shoot a big match using cartridge pistols.
		The ROA loads go from "smoke standard minimum" to "Recalcitrant knockdowns" or "Charging Buick" loads.
		The 30 gr. Goex Express 3f loads proved that Express is pretty hot stuff.
		Integrating January Chrono tests with May tests:
		Wild Bunch Loads, minimum power factor 150
