[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1183468, member: 7898"] I wouldn't say it was wasted. Just that with a different lot you will need to back off a bit and work back up. If your load was say, 56 gr of the RL22 with Lot 'A', with Lot 'B', I'd back off 2 grains and work back up (provided the lesser load is still more than minimum for your round). If the max load was 60 grains, you could find that with Lot 'B' your new load may be 55.5 or 56.5 or even 59 grains. Basically, you'll have one more trip to the range. And, what's the problem there? ;) With a new to me rifle/round, if I don't have a powder that works, I'll do like you did - buy 1 lb of powder to try. If that powder works, I'll go back and either buy multiple pounds of the same lot # or buy an 8 lb-er. I'll then do as I said earlier, back off a bit and re-run the loads and find what load THAT Lot # takes to get me back where I was. [/QUOTE]
