How many of you do your reloading right before a p-dog trip and how many have loads that you've loaded from years earlier? \
Any accuracy difference from the older loads related to cold weld?

MY old loads I generally bump them in the seater die to break any bond, but most have had graphite on the inside of the neck when sized so no problems. Muddy

You must be bored or have too much time on your hands.
Any gains realized by doing what you suggest would be so minimal as to be non-existent in a field shooting situation, after all it PD shooting - not a benchrest match.

Sorry for the confusion on the initial post. Here's another way to say it. Can anyone notice the difference in accuracy b/t fresh loads and unused loads that were for p-dog trips from past years?

If they are stored cool and dry, no worries. If you worry, shoot the old stuff up first, which is what I do. But properly loaded and stored ammo (don't ask the Flave about that) keeps a long time. Go have fun.

I've shot some of my reloads that were done over 6-7 years ago through the chrony and onto paper and compared them to some "fresh" stuff using the same components and the results only differed due to the shooter...............me.

You're good to go. Usually the wind makes the most difference.

The load I've selected is tolerant of minor changes and I've not seen any difference with loads left from last year. My goal is not to take any home, though!
