Yesterday the nice USPS Carrier left me with an 8 lb jug of Bullseye and 5,000 primers.

After getting about 20 years of dust off the Progressive and running a few rounds and measuring powder drop, I found that either my charge holes have grown of the new batch of BE powder is a tad heavier.

Charge bar that used to throw 4.0 BE now throws 4.6. The old short line charge of 3.7 now throws 4.2.

Has anyone else noticed a long term fluctuation?

Thanks,

salty
