[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 510587, member: 15748"] emmagator, No, it absolutely does not have to be a scale issue. You can verify the scales accuracy with a set of check weights, but my guess is, you'll find it's accurate. There's a host of other things that are likely in evidence here, beginning with the powder, the primers, the chamber or trhoats of your rifle and at least a dozen others, including your chronograph. Have you compared this data against what's listed in other sources? This is precisely why I recommend that you have a good collection of reloading manuals avaialbel to you; it allows you to do some comparisons. If you do, you'll quickly see that there's quite a wide variety of velocities and charge weights shown between the various manufacturers. What one shows as a max load may well be a mid level load in another. They're both correct, but are correct in the particular component combination they used in their respective rifles. Change any element of that combination, includign just the case or powder lots, and you've changed the equation. Don't get too stuck on chrono velocity figures. They're useful bits of information on the whole, but they need to be regarded in context of a broader picture. It's just one piece of the puzzle. [/QUOTE]
