[QUOTE="jmden, post: 309832, member: 1742"] Augustus, That is amazing there would be so much difference. I wonder if it's because my powder is a few years old, just different lots...? How old is your powder? If it's new, I'm starting to wonder if a good portion of Hodgdon's powder is getting 'faster' for some reason. I think my newer 8# jub of US869 is a fair amount faster than my old jug, I've recently heard of faster H1000 going around and causing a bit of trouble here and there and now am wondering if you have a newer lot of H50BMG that's faster as well. Just goes to show that you can't be too careful with reloading. START LOW AND WORK UP POWDER LOADS SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. Thanks, Augustus. Jon [/QUOTE]
