[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2711905, member: 33046"] Unless it was the very first batch, maybe lot #1, 120grs volume has never equaled 84grs by weight. That's Western's attorneys recommendations. Not only does 120v equal 84grs, every lot number will be different also. I can't remember the lowest lot# but I believe it may have been #24 or in that area of low 20's, 120grs volume only equaled 74.4grs. I believe it was mentioned already but, get a top quality volume measure, and measure out 10 or more tubes. Tap if you like to fill the volume measure, just do it the same each time. Then weigh each of the 10 tubes. You'll be surprised! What most do is after weighing all 10 tubes and recording the weights, you average out the 10 by weight and shoot that. Velocity will increase. Here's a test of lot to lot. Western/Hodgdon says 120grs VOLUME or, 84grs weight. Which one? [ATTACH type="full"]427006[/ATTACH] EXACT SAME BULLET: [ATTACH type="full"]427007[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
