^^^ different powder lots.
Okay, I was joking about the "Kaboom", wasn't I?? Please tell me you are joking about the powder lots!
nope. not joking. variations between powder lots.
you should always chrono your reloads when loading a new powder lot.
are you?
I have a hard time with it also. I have been reloading since primers were .79 a box and have yet to notice any differences in loads using the same powder. While a chrono might be fun and informative I do not see one as essential.I call BS on the "Various powder lot" theory though!
No, I'm not........I always load toward the lower end of the resources I use. I call BS on the "Various powder lot" theory though! Where does it say on the bottle? Where does it say period, that "This is a new lot of powder hotter than the last one"? I would really LOVE to get a chrono, it's not likely I could get away with setting it up at the club though, and I pretty much gave up on driving all the way to Browns or Memaloose.
I pay close attention to recoil, flash, ejection, spent cases, and will sometimes use factory ammo as a comparison to my hand loads.
