[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 129107, member: 10"] Roy, Sounds like you got a bad lot of powder, I would call Hodgdon and see if they would exchange it. one lb of bad powder is not a big deal, 8 lbs is a real big deal!!! I have been using US869 alot in my 7mm AM and 338 AM. I load 102 gr in my light 7mm AM and 105 gr in my heavy under the 200 gr ULD RBBT. In my 338 AM my light load is 140 gr under the 300 gr SMK. I have loaded up to 150 grains however but that is pretty warm. I am also using it in my 510 AM for early testing and so far 255 grains under the 750 gr bullet seems about right. That burns up powder in a hurry!!! I have burned up three of the four 8 lb kegs I have bought so far and never experienced anything like you are seeing. I would get ahold of Hodgdon and see what they say. If there is a bad lot of powder out there, it will help them as well. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
