[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1181502, member: 7898"] Have had the same thing happen whenever I change lots of powder. Hence the reason I buy powder in 8 lb canisters. Each time you change a component, be it the case, primer, powder, bullet, sizing die, COALTL, even if it is just a different lot or, you just didn't hold your mouth right when you loaded the 'new' stuff, you should re-work your load. Since you chanced both your bullet lot AND your powder lot, I'd say you need to re-work your load. Maybe this lot of powder needs an extra grain or grain and a half to reach previous speeds? Maybe this lot of bullets needs more powder to reach the velocity/pressure combination in your rifle? Only way to tell is to re-work it and see where you reach the accuracy you had, if this set of changes will permit it. [/QUOTE]
