[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1420199, member: 101677"] I’d say this is pretty on topic. No, I’ve never seen much accuracy gains by switching powders. I’ve succeeded in tightening the es of velocity by switching powder and adjusting it to achieve identical velocity in the accuracy node. But I’ve never found any group size difference between various powders if they’re shooting the same velocity. For example, I’ve made loads with the 212eldx in my 300wby with 7828, 7977, and h1000. All near 2825fps, they all grouped the same, but es varies between them. Seating depth can greatly affect the accuracy of your load and some powders get identified as the best for a particular cartridge because they offer good full capacity while leeway in adjusting the seating depth.
