when i open a new can i start 3 grains less than my original load and chrnograph them working up to the original load.

for rifles i fire a lot i buy 8# jugs, saves load development. some folks say this is being persnickety, probly true, but i a blesssed with having time on my hands.

as far as dumping 50 or 60 grains of an old lot with a new i really don't see a problem with that as long as you mix well and start a little lower and work up to the original load.

i just read rockys post on the 3% deal, if thats true it almost kills the issue. 3% is extremely close.
