So I am finding some conflicting info on this, and a good bit of info that might be only "Boiler Plate Super-(lawyer)-Safe". So I am a bit confused. I'll run the question by you guys.
Hypothetical case. I buy a one pound bottle of Supermax 1000 powder, and work up a load I'm happy with in my ZipMax 350. The load ends up being .6 grains under maximum at 54.2 grains. I only bought one pound because: (choose one)
A. It was all I could afford.
B. I wanted to try a different powder.
C. It was all they had.
D. All of the above. ;~)
So 8 months later, the powder runs out, and I buy a new one pounder.
EVERYTHING you see, read, study, are told, and have nightmares about is that powder lots vary, and that you must start over with load development, beginning at the starting load.
Is this really how it works in real life??? Do you guys re-develop loads for each new bottle of powder?? (From different lot numbers.)
Thanks in advance for any and all input!!
