[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3863923, member: 15054"] I write down lot numbers in my load data if I have more than 1 lot number. If you have any of that older ammo left I would seat a couple of the bullets deeper and see if you get that hard to seat POP. It's an eye opener. I worked up loads for IMR4064 and had 4 lbs of the same powder but with the 30-06, .308 and then a .243 eating away at it I had to get more. I got more and a different lot number and it was many years newer. It did not shoot the same at all and looked a wee bit different. Lucky for me the next time I was at gene sears he had got some more in and 8# jugs and to my surprise it was the older stuff with my favorite lot number. He did not know why he ended up with powder that old (2009) but he did and I got all 3 of the 8# jugs. [/QUOTE]
