RE: An OhNoSecond
After inspecting 5 cans of 1.5 Swiss, including "looking", weighing, volumne comparisions and screening, theres no difference I can find, 'cept there was the coloration that I saw (I thought) in one can.
So I have set that can aside, just because. At a later date, I will do FPS testing against other cans, just because.

RE: An OhNoSecond
This new batch of powder does not shoot well. Talked to Jeff F in Wyoming. He related the batch he is now shooting is not as dense as his prior lot and doesn't shoot as well.
It is going to take some work to get this one to group well. I would have done better with a 12ga and buckshot.
At least I found the 2lbs I had stashed away and will be able to load enough for Alliance.
David, I just figured out how to make my new lot shoot like the old one. I used Federal Magnum Match primers with an over primer wad ( in the bottom of the case ). I know people say not to bother with the magnum primers but I've found them to work well with Goex Fg sometimes.
I picked them up back in the middle of the primer shortages several years ago as they were about all I could find.
