[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1897415, member: 2736"] I'm often accused of being paranoid/anal and can except that because my experiences have been that any change can and will normally effect the performance in any load. I have tried to increase or decrease powder charge to match the velocity of one of my favorite loads and even though it was close to the same performance. It did not match the original load accuracy, and some times it was actually slightly better but other times it was slightly worse. All I can think of is that the addition of more less powder, can change the burn time even though it is the same batch number. The bench rest guys could probably explain why better because they try to eliminate the human error in shooting by not touching the rifle while firing. It is very hard to find a .050 thousandths accuracy change doing the kind of shooting we do and at some point many don't worry about such small changes. In over 50 years of reloading, I have never been able to exactly duplicate velocity and accuracy of any load no matter what I did. So it is not an exact science and all we can do is try to improve performance by eliminating any changes that are not necessary to get consistency. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
