More India .308 powder measurements

I just pulled bullets from five more rounds, weighing each charge.

All five were ball powder, none of the bullets had the cake of whatever-it-was on the base. Powder weights were:
42.4
42.3
42.6
41.0
42.2

So on these five, variance of 1.4 grains from highest to lowest. From anywhere that's scary, from a government arsenal making this stuff for their troops, it's insane.

I also weighed the bullets, they range from 146.7 to 149.2 grains.

I repeat, I ain't shooting any more of this stuff.
