Pleased you found the culprit Wingman. I've found AR2009 to be the most accurate powder in my rifle. Might try RE16 with the 123 SST for fallow as the 143 ELD-X is a little too heavily constructed for the little buggers.
I have a friend who likes to buy powder in bulk once he's found a load he likes. He has many kilo's of mostly Vihtavuori powder that is at least 20-30 years old. We tried some recently; no odd smell or colour - all useless.
