[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 293855, member: 4885"] DUH, Thanks for the info. I recall reading (I think it was in Handloading for Competition by [U][B] [URL="http://www.zediker.com/books/handloading/hlmain.html"]Zediker Publishing[/URL][/B][/U]) that moisture differences from lot to lot can cause inconsistencies. In fact, he claims that having differences in humidity in your loading room can cause inconsistencies with the same powder lot !! Instead of weighing his loads, he uses a high quality volume measure (which would eliminate moisture content fluctiations). If someone has both a new and old lot of the powder, it would be interesting to weigh out 100gr with both and then see if they occupied the same volume. AJ [/QUOTE]
