[QUOTE="45steve, post: 1885697, member: 109421"] I have some RL-15 that's about 8 years old. Did a ladder test. I should have had velocity from about 2800-3000 fps I had 2674-2867fps Model 7 300 SAUM 168 gr Bergers VLD I had 2 rounds I loaded years ago and got 2950 & 2970 but I don't know what the formula was. I also shot my 1911. I had loaded some 230 gr with 5.9 of Unique that's also 8 years old. I had velocity of 625 when the manual said I should be getting 800-850. I've reloaded for 30 years and never had this problem. Of course, I've never used 8-year-old powder before. TIME TO BUY NEW POWDER? [/QUOTE]
