I have 3 bottles of RL22 for my 7 mag, all the same lot number. One bottle is shift Z dated 7 August and the other two are shift Y dated 21 July.

If its the same lot number am I good to load without working up again or will it be different because of different shifts?
 
The same lot # means that the all the bottles used all the same chemicals and process. Not that they had to be ran on the same day or by the same person/shift. Just that the powder was made by all the same LOT of chemicals and other things that go into that powder. MAKE SENSE?
 
If in doubt always drop down and work up, especially if you are riding the edge of max pressure. If your load is in the middle of pressures, it prob wont matter.

Safe Answer drop down and work up.
 
Okay, thank you. I'm running on the slow side for my 7RM at about 2960 fps, but its
so accurate that I stopped there. I understand there is supposed to be another node about 3050 or there about.
