Shamu; I've often had the odd unexpected change in velocity when testing. Even though I have been quite sure of my loads. So try to work with the averages. Now I use an electronic powder doser, which is better than my old method of doing it by hand and zeroing each case prior to filling.

I have a batch of PPU ogives to reload. They appear similar to the SB type 180 grains. The weights are variable when compared to the Sierra Match Kings.
I have not had time for any reloading recently; and no heating in the shed so winter is not the most enjoyable time to be in there.
Looking forward to working up some loads for the Maltby No4Mk1. Not sure if I'll be able to improve on the factory ammo though. That seems really good in this rifle.
