[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 669554, member: 505"] Korhil78, H-1000 and Retumbo can vary quite a bit lot to lot from what I have found. I would suggest to anyone buy this powder in bulk or risk changing your loads with each batch. My H-1000 loads are down three grains from my data in the late 90's. The past three years or so it seems each lot can vary a couple grains. I have used Hodgdon's H870 since the 60s and it can easily vary 3-4 grains batch to batch. That is why when I buy powder I buy in bulk from the same lot number. Sometimes I get a batch of powder that shoots incredible and I am sick when I run out of it. All rifles have peculiarities and one I have found with this rifle I mentioned was max loads typically run about two grains less powder than my other 300 RUM's. However it gets the same velocity with a 26" barrel I am getting with my 28" barrel rifles. At first it was interesting but I wanted more testing to see if it was an anomaly. Now I have shot many rounds and loads through this rifle and this tendancy has continued. At this point I can say from enough testing this rifle will shoot equal to my 28" barrels with about two grains less powder. Maybe it is in the EOL reamer or just a quirk of this particular rifle. But that is what my data shows.The throat is shorter than my other 300 RUM's which is a factor but I would not have thought that much a factor. Then the Schneider polygon barrel could have something to do with velocity compared to my 28" barrels which are Hart and Pac-Nor 1-10 twist. This is the first Schneider I have ever shot. [/QUOTE]
