Agreement with previous post
It is the reloader with a vibratory brass cleaning machine cleaning lube off his loaded ammo that forgets to turn the machine off after say 5 to 10 minutes and leaves it for hours that can damage the powder granules in my humble opinion.
My main interest is in making every loaded round identical in every aspect in a large lot so that every round will have the same point of impact no matter when fired. I will admit it can be a tiny factor but the length of time that live ammo is vibrated or tumbled should also be consistent and if a batch is forgotten for an hour or more and that batch is mixed in with the lot of a thousand rounds that is being created as an identical lot, could they possibly be flyers from having a slightly different point of impact?
Create Indentical lots of a thousand Rounds
Brass of the same brand and lot numbers
Powder of the same lot numbers
Ball powder that meters more accurately
Primers Federal Or Winchester only
Bullets of the same weight and hardness
Loaded in the same conditions for the entire lot
Stored in a temperature controlled environment til taken to the range in an otherwise empty large ice chest.
A small ice chest carried and placed under your shooting position protected from direct sun rays to control its temperature.
Different temperature controls are needed for very hot summer days and very cold winter days.
Just some thoughts from an Old Competitor and Commercial Reloader
The attachment is one of my personal weapons a Smith K-38 Master piece revolver a Classic competition weapon.
