[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 165836, member: 2736"] [b]Bad powder[/b] KAB Yes the powder can go bad ,but if stored properly it shood last many years. ( I still have and use some H4831 world war 2 surplus 20mm powder). Also I shoot lot,s of 3006 GI ball thats at least 50 years old. loading books hardly ever match the chronograph's velocities so don't go by the books except for starting loads. And if you change primers you should allways back off on the powder 1 or 2 grains no mater what kind (mag or standard ). Barrel length can effect the velocity if different from the test barrel used in the book. Go back to your original powder/primer/bullet load (No substitutes) and dont wory about what the book says ,Just watch for pressure signs and good standard devations. I Hope This Helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
