The exact same thing happened to me. December 28th 2023 temperature was 32F and April 7th 2024 temerature was 37.5 F.
On those two day, i used S&B LPP on my reloaded rounds. Other ammo using the exact same case, powder, projectiles with Winchester LPP fired flawlessly.
Thank you for sharing...
Thank you everyone for your comments.
Please forgive me for using the word: deception. I should have use: disapointment.
I forgot to mention that i also hade some loads with unburnent powder of Blue Dot with S&B primers. Not a lot, but some.
That never happened to me with CCI or Winchester...
I doubt it. Powder was dispense with the Frankford Arsenal intellidropper properly set up and calibrated and all case where inspected twice before putting the bullet on top of each case.
I Went to my gun club last sunday.
I had my first squib load. Most of you will blame me, and that's fair, but i never had any squib while using american primers like CCI and Winchester. Lyman 50th and 51st manual tells that a squib load can happen when the primer is not strong enough to...
I see in my S&W manual target and mid-range load. Then, in 2022 Hodgdon manual i see, target, light duty, medium duty and magnum.

Would it worth the effort to try different coal, keeping in mind that bullets longer than 1.610"...
IMR 4227/XTP seem to be a winning combo. With a 20" barrel, i did not find any unburned kernel and no soot on my cases.
Enforcer/Winchester seem also promising.
N110 will also be tweaked. It is true that this powder burn clean. For what i read, single base powder seems to be less harsh on...
I finally succeeded in sighting my semi buckhorn sight on my Henry Big Boy.
I still need to tweak it a bit more.
Anyway, target st 30 yards for testing those 4 loads;
1-W 244 7.3 g with 200 g lead rnfp
2- Enforcer 20g Winchester hp and XTP 240g
3-N110 20.4g Winchester hp and XTP 240g
4- IMR...
Since i live in Chinada and finding a good armorer is rarae in my neck of the wood, i would like to replace my 44 magnum 629.
