[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3919222, member: 15054"] I do not trickle stick rifle powder I scoop it with a Lee scooper and into a pan on the 505 beam scale it goes. My shotgun shell powder gets the 505 beam scale treatment also. Ball powder gets 505'ed also unless it is for .223 and I can get it to drop within .15 of a grain. Your 2588 fps I would set that case to the side and measure everything about it. Mark it and use it again in testing and if it was again out of the normal velocity range it would be tossed into the recycle bin. Annealing cases after every shot and making sure no oils on my bullets or fingers or in the neck of the case has eliminated the huge velocity jumps. Now I have some 2 year old 30-06 rounds I shot a week ago and velocity was all over the place. I feel maybe that bullet was sticking in the neck of the brass. Cold weld thing. [/QUOTE]
