[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 137534, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] so by your thinking, we have to test every can of powder. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] And that is exactly what they do at the factories. That is how they arrive at the lot numbers. [/ QUOTE ] No it is not. They do NOT test each 1# can. The blend several tons and test that "lot number", and each can poured from that "several tons" bares the same lot number. - very silly. You have no idea of how powder is manufactured and distributed. [ QUOTE ] Obviously the powder in any given can is going to be a blend, but they segregate it by lot number so each bottle with the same lot number is as close to being consistent as possible so that the reloader can count on his specific lot being the same burn rate as his last can of that specific lot. [/ QUOTE ] What happened to your white and black marble theory?? [ QUOTE ] If this were not so, working up a load for a gun with any powder would be a crapshoot. [/ QUOTE ] So you start all over and work up loads with each can of powder with a different lot number?? [ QUOTE ] If I find a lot of powder that works, I scour the countryside to find more of it. If I can't find another bottle, then I start from scratch on load development with a new lot. [/ QUOTE ] Wow... you must have a LOT riding on each shot.
