[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 1902812, member: 60439"] Another point to remember with all of the talk about "good old days" reloading data showing much higher load values is that "all" of those powders were different batches of powder with a number of them being surplus military bulk powder simply packaged and labeled versus our newly produced powders with proprietary coatings and who knows what else that would significantly alter their pressure curves. I also think the novice reloader rarely understands that one primer is not equal to every other primer in the store. Pulling your reloading press handle makes you a little smarter every time you do it, if you are paying attention. Remember if you get unexpected velocity you are likely dealing with dangerous pressure even if you don't see the conventional pressure signs in your case or bolt lift. ( this part was for the new loaders, not those of us with arthritis in our reloading press shoulders ) [/QUOTE]
