[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1711166, member: 9299"] Just a couple of possibles. Since your powder wts aren't consistent, were you loading with a powder measure instead of scale? If so, it is possible you had a "bridge" on one load that then broke free and overcharged the next load. OR, and I have seen this a few times over the decades, a heavier wt bullet found its way into your box of 55's. These mistakes can come from the factory or a lose bullet was mistakenly placed into the wrong box. I.e. a 60gr Hornady placed into a 55gr box. Just last year, I found a 147gr 9mm in a factory box of 124gr Gold Dot bullets. In past, I have found 180gr in a 165gr 30 cal. box, a 158gr in a 125gr XTP box, etc. [/QUOTE]
