    If I ever run into anything even close to that much lot-to-lot varrience I will quit loading ammunition. Period.

    If I ever get handed a hand loaded cartridge by someone who says "Sorry, I don't pay attention to IMR vs H" I will most likely run. And I hate running.
    I work the the load up again lot to lot (but not as in depth as I did the first time), but I just have not seen the stated variance. Well, if I have perhaps its because I don't load anywhere near the edge. Your mileage may vary

    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
