[QUOTE="Dorkus, post: 4347278, member: 47598"] I do not know if this is the right area in OKS to post this question, but will roll the dice thinking it might be. Here is the deal, earlier this year I started using blackthorn from all the good reviews. I like it quite a bit and it seems to shoot straight and is very easy to clean up for a ML. What is odd about it, the powder expands after I put it in the measuring vials. I have noticed this in the past but did a little test today to see if I am crazy. My wife thinks that I am crazy but anyway, here is what happened. Around 2:00 today during a boring conference call, I filled six sealed vials with exactly 90 grains of powder. I just went and checked the vials and now they have approximately 98 grains of powder in the tubes. They obviously are expanding while out of the Blackthorn container which I don't know why because the containers are sealed that the charges are in now. Anyone else ever notice this or do I just have a bad batch? My next question is, what do I use for my charge? I originally measured it to 90 grains and do I use that now even though it is at 98 grains or do I dump some back in the bottle? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
