So I get a new 8lbs jug of H4895, open it and load a couple hundred rounds of same old load I have used for a long time
44.0 grains H4895, with cci br primer, 155 scenar at 2.82" Oal in either a Lapua or 118LR case

Guess what in two tack driving rifles the ammo just plain sucked worse than any load I have ever used. I mean 10 moa suck.

I though scope problem so tried four different types of ammo in each rifle and they both produced 1 hole groups.

Pressure signs looks more like loaded with something very fast and not safe.

Looks like 8lbs of fertilizer to me

Watch yourself with new lots.
