Powder Humidity

I found this an interesting view, especially for MD weather. I had no idea it could make such a large difference. Interesting results, 200+ fps and 10,000 psi variations.

I'm going to attempt to forget that I ever watched that video.

That first link is amazingly detailed. It's science.

LOL, if I ever get so good I notice those variations in any of my scores, DON’T WAKE ME UP! :lol2:

Damn you and too much data!

I am curious about the affect of loaded ammo sitting around for a long time. I realize reloads aren’t sealed. But at the same time, realistically, even without sealant, the primer and bullet being properly seated still forms a good seal.

One upside to me personally, my gun room ranges from about 54-58% RH in the summer to around 42-46% RH in the winter. So I don’t have much of a swing.
