[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 983466, member: 28191"] Many manufacturers have taken issue with our approach to testing whether or not their products meet their marketing specifications. Our view is that even very good products could be even better if tested and pressed to actually meet their specifications rather than considering "close" good enough. For example, consider our testing of velocity variations from different lots of Hodgdon H4831 powder, shown in the attached graph and discussed more thoroughly in this paper: [url]http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a572333.pdf[/url] The magnitude of velocity variations resulting from different lots of powder are much different from that suggested from Hodgdon's marketing literature. Is it detrimental to the shooting community to point this out and encourage Hodgdon to do better? [/QUOTE]
