Hi everyone,I got back into reloading after a five year lay off from it.didnt have the time.anyway i had a couple of 1 pounders from last time i reloaded.I have my lock and load press set at 4.3 gtains.Anyway i have had no issues my press five years later was still throwing 4.3 grains.The 1 pounders from 5 years ago meter 4.3 grains.The strange thing is i just bought an 8 pound container and have been having issues with my gun not going to slide lock.I weighed my powder from my 1 pounders from 5 years ago and they both weigh 4.3 on my scale.i weighed the powder from my 8 pound container and it weighs 4.1 grains.1 have an rcbs 505 scale so it isnt digital.i took all the powder out of my powder measure put it back and took my other powder from my old can put that in the powder measure weighed that again 4.3 grains.I then once again took that powder out of the powder measure and put in the powder from the 8 pound container weighed it 4.1 grains once again.i repeated this process four times and each time the powder weighed the same as it did.4.3 with one container.the old can.The new container 4.1.like i said i completely removed the powder from the measure each time i weghed them both.How is this possible if it is the same powder.Is it possible that they changed the powder?it looks the same.My scale doesn't lie.it's not digital you can clearly see the new powder weghs less by my beam.I have an idpa state match coming up so i need to figure this out.Has anyone ever heard of this before.i never had problems with the old 231 before but this stuff i don't. know.
