[QUOTE="hidesert, post: 1231306, member: 97550"] Powder lot and or age occurred to me also. As an example I used Richard Frailey's most accurate load from his comprehensive work "Loading the 284 Winchester for Accuracy" which is 48.0 grains of VihtaVuori N150, WLR primer on a Nosler 140 grain Accubond bullet. He got 2875 fps in an Ultra Light Arms Model 20 with a 22 inch barrel. I got 2756 fps in my Ruger M77 with a 22 inch barrel. I used powder from two lots, one purchased in 2008 and one in 2016. No practical difference. My loads were very accurate and had low ES and SD's. [/QUOTE]
