[QUOTE="Taylorbok, post: 2642487, member: 118538"] I was talking GREATLY. I have over a years powder supply easy. When I put on a barrel I try my best to buy a lot of bullets and powder to run it out. so 1-2000 bullets depending on cartridge and usually around 10lbs powder. (that's for every rifle) I'm talking about the guys who shoot 20 rounds a year and are buying up every powder they see whether they use it or not. Sitting on 50 lbs and shooting half a pound a year is pretty janky. I'm not here to stop anyone. Stock pile as you see fit but you do know one lot of powder to the next is not consistent so if you are shooting for accuracy having 10-20 different lots of powder is not conducive as you essentially have to re do your load every jug. If you are shooting shorter distances you can load a mid-weight book charge and call it a day. But I've had to adjust loads with retumbo over 15% to bring the accuracy back in. [/QUOTE]
