Not sure what's up with the data. My Speer manual says 5.6 max, my Lee manual says 5.1.

Yep, must be going bad and should be disposed of properly. Fortunately I know how to do it, so get all that powder to me and I will use a controlled small detonation in a brass cylender with a lead plug to dispose of it.
