Thanks, Woody!

With only 2 lb., it will be a challenge to find a good load in time to have enough left for at least 1 match.

The following are past Swiss 1 1/2 lot numbers / volume / velocity measures using the same volumetric setting on my Harrel's (96.5)powder drop.
#241-199 62.1 Grs. 1275 fps*
#260-206 59.5 Grs. 1260 fps
#080-908 64.2 Grs. 1290 fps*
#050-310 59.2 Grs. 1270 fps
#290-111 59.5 Grs. 1291 fps*
#030-111 60.4 Grs. 1282 fps*
#010-311 59.4 Grs. 1261 fps (so-so)
#210-113 58.4 Grs. 1232 fps
#170-314 54.1 Grs. 1201 fps
#27-10-2014 53.5 Grs. 1242 fps
#16-02-2017 53.1 Grs. 1233 fps
Notice how less the density has become by volume in the pass years?

My most accurate 40-65 loads were using velocities at approximately 1275 fps, using 62.0 Grs. Swiss 1 1/2 with a 0.60' ldpe wad and CCI BR-2 primers. Ergo, I load my present Swiss loads by velocity. I have to increase my powder weight to match my accurate velocity. I don't care what the compression is.FWIW.................
