[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2602822, member: 21361"] In the 50's and sixties there were very few powder manufacturers-IMR Du Pont being prevelant and then Hodgdon appeared, Hercules and Norma was known but not common. Powders were so few that if you had a cartridge and it performed well you had a special combination (220 Swift and 4064 etc.) Lot numbers were a BIG deal until Vittavouri showed up and the rest of the industry had to scramble to achieve better uniformity. Nowadays we live in a world where Science and health doubles its knowledge every 4 months. That's the pace presently. The increased economy has allowed for more leisure and spending has increased so that there is so much powder available several powder choices will work quite nicely in virtually every cartridge. Bullets have made signficant strides in uniformity and consistent expansion. Thus applying the standards nowadays to powders created long ago when things were much cruder simply is unrealistic. You could be using a perfectly good powder that was made at a time whena new automobile cost you less than $1,700.00 WW [/QUOTE]
