[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 510981, member: 2567"] LTLR- I was loading 97 grs of rl 25 with 225 nab's with this barrel and getting good accuracy and 3300 fps. The problem I ran into was when I went to reload once fired federal nickle brass, the primer pockets were loose. I have since backed off to 94 grs at about 3150. My h-1000 loads with a new lot of powder seem to be a lot hotter than loads I worked up with older powder. I had a good accuracy load with h 1000 for my 300 rum and it isn't shooting good with the new powder either. Back to the drawing board. What is maddening, this is the exact reason I quit shooting rl 22. I was shooting 90 grs of rl 22 with a 180 nab in my 300 rum at 3250 with sub .5 groups and then got new batch of powder. Same load was close to 3400 fps. How can powder co's say there can be up to 10% variance in burn rate when there isn't 10% between rl 22 and rl 19? If I wanted rl 19 burn rates, that is what I would shoot. Same with this new h-1000, the old powder burn rate was great, the new, not so sure. I just checked my powder lots and my newest powder is 4735 (hot) and old powder that shot good was 43xx (h-1000) [/QUOTE]
