Well…I didn’t expect that to happen!! 🤦‍♂️

Decided to try using GRT’s optimized data for my .270 WSM after the results I seen here.

As I was wrapping up and putting things away, my clumsy butt(hand) managed to knock the MTM ammo box containing the forty rounds I’d loaded, all over my bench.

The brass I used isn’t weight sorted.
 
I dropped my box of 284 Win test loads once too...tried weight sorting...too much variance that I could not get 3 of any of 4 different powder charges to be even close in weight to say with certainty, "this is this powder charge".

Just pull one at a time and weigh the powder charge to see if you can say which was which.
I will weigh new charges to reseat the bullets again, after neck sizing the brass again.
 
I’m guessing there were different load charges in there. If it was a work up to find max pressure , you’re best to pull and start over.
I mark primers with different color markers to avoid any mix ups.

This is what I've started doing...a turret press would be nice right about now! 🙃
