Be sure that when you retest, that all other variables are removed from the equation including the human one. This included atmospheric conditions, piece to piece variation of brass & bullets and the mechanics of the loading procedure and equipment adjustment.This would include weight, shape, dimensional and material variables of all components. Include the relative condition of your firearm which must be exactly identical from shot to shot, especially the condition of the chambers and bore. After that, I suspect that the collected data will be of great interest. Until then, it is unscientific and statistically insignificant conjecture and surmise obtained under uncontrolled circumstances!

Incidentally, regardless of your experience, you have stated emphatically that the two powders are not identical even though the manufacturer states that they are. You are obviously more qualified than said manufacturer based on your "experience" and obviously more forthright. At any rate, roll out your ballistics lab and qualify your "facts" under lab conditions in order to add validity to your conclusion that the manufacturer has erred in his statement, either because of ineptitude or mischief. Alternatively, you can qualify all of your statements by saying most emphatically that they are, in actuality, opinion and not fact, based solely on your experiences. At the end of the day, it will matter not one iota and will define you as being as much of an expert as you suspect I am.
