I'll have to do an up the ladder side by side test of these two one day.  At around 1450-1550 or so, the older one, the one with the little .305 band ahead of the scraper groove, makes shooting golfballs at 100yds pretty easy.  Much faster and the spread gets bigger, even with slower powders and/or harder alloys.  Like it has rotational velocity it likes and that's it!  Maybe that's why the design got changed over the years!  I notice the lube grooves are a bit shallower on the older one. The newer one has .312 bands the older one .314.  I remember Phil Sharpe wrote that he got some good accuracy with the 413 up around 2000fps too.
