[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2700744, member: 101791"] I think it's been said over and over here, that if changing powder lots. You need to work your loads up again. The other is getting the same lots of powder. Presently that's hard to do. The prices of powder makes it hard too. You can have $600 to $800 in 16 lbs of powder presently, and different powder types that can lead into thousands of dollars sitting on a shelve. It sad at best. I got one new rifle in early this year, and will have a 2nd one here shortly. One is a wildcat and the other is a well known caliber and chamber. I presently have a pet load for my other rifle in that chamber, but the other there isn't much on it. So I will have to develop loads for it in a couple of bullet weights. I think I am going to settle on Hunter 100gr bullets, but that remains to be seen. I am looking to extend my range out to 700+yds. Mostly for Varmints. Ground squirrels and P dogs, and they are small targets, that require a very accurate round at those ranges. I have had to change my way of purchasing powder due to the supply of them, or not knowing what powder I am going to use for sure. I have limited my purchases 1# containers for now. To see how they are going to work out. The reason for that is, I don't want a lot of powder sitting around not being used or it doesn't work of me. I am looking beyond just using H powders. Partly because I can't get them, and looking at different burn rate that close to them to try. A little faster or slower. All are in single based powders. I have gotten some double based powders in my hurry to have some type of powder on hand or add to my stocks. At the same time I don't want to hord either. I like to see others be able to acquire powders too to use. 8 to 16 lbs probably will require a working over a barrel by resetting the chamber and cutting off the muzzle, or replacing the barrel.
