    opinions on powder measure needed

    Well I have a Lee Turret press that I use as a single stage for the rifle but use the turret for my pistol loads. Did some reading about powder measures that can be press mounted. The turret came with the Lee disc but I cannot get it to keep a consistant charge. Not to mention the mess the...

    Where to start OAL or powder charge?

    Varget - Older powder more powerful???

    I have some Varget from 1999 and loaded some .308 with 175 SMK in Win. brass, CCI BR-2, and 42 grains of Varget as a starter load. It seemed a little hot. Is old or older lots of Varget more powerful than the new lots?

    which has more value- powder charge or velocity

    TO clarify my question, I'm dropping a "minimum recommended" powder charge as starting point, But my measured velocities are almost at the maximum. I;m trimming cases to .008 under "sierra" manual. Should I be concerned about bullet depth (OAL)? I'm not sure where to look. Thanks
