    Don't forget some of us enjoy reloading so much any excuse is good enough lol

    If I didn't enjoy load development I'd have to start an online shop to get rid of 9/10 of all my stuff @grandpamac

    Granted @Jhon,
    I have some sympathy for that as the handloading has become for me a rewarding hobby in its own right. These days the development is aimed at producing specialist low pressure loads in my Old Soldiers plus satisfying my curiosity in the accuracy of current load data. I mostly use ADI powders as these have been easiest to obtain. Current load data from Hodgdons is generally good but some powders, in particular AR2209 have changed speed over the last 20 years or so. Chronographing a middle load tells me where my current lot of powder sits in speed.
    Regards Grandpamac.
