    Old Powder

    Loaded 5 test rounds 223 with a old unknown batch of benchmark 2, noticed black discolouration of some of the kernels. first 2 shots didn't group, so put couple threw the chrono.
    Said to the guys at the range ---I like to see how good my calculations are Gordons Reloading, usually within 30fps. Rude shock, I said 2800 reality was 2475 next 2435. Lucky not much of that pottle left, so its on the garden. Got a full batch so more to test, risky buying deceased estate powders.
