Thanks to everyone for chiming in. Im looking forward to trying out the VV powders. More experience / reports will gladly be welcomed

Last weekend Graf's was running a free hazmat promo and my dad and I capitalized on that by ordering some primers and powder. For a while I've always read good things about VihtaVuori powders so I decided to try some. I figure since Alliant is rare as hens teeth and expensive, Id try...

Ive used the SST in 123gr 6.5mm / 130gr .277" / 170gr 8mm / and 200gr .338" flavors (6.5cm, 270win, 8x57, 338-06) and have yet to experience the blow up like some people on the internet go on and on about. Every shot taken on any animal there will be lots of variables and no 2 hunters will...

Fotis, Thanks for pictures and details. Just out of curiosity have you or anyone else ever attempted to shoot it w/o the brake ? 143gr of RL 33 ? That's insane to me. I can't wrap my mind around it. Im sure it'll make a pound of powder go pretty quick lol

How much approximate recoil does the 375 BAS generate ? I'm sure your using a brake and the 18# weight help but what does shooting one equate to

If you use the COW fireforming method you'll likely still not get a perfect formed case with sharp shoulders but you'll still be burning primers all the same. I fire formed some 280rem into 280AckImp by seating the bullets out far enough to firmly contact the lands and provide positive...

Day 6 had us packing up our camp again,and trying to prepare ourselves for a 16 ish hour drive back to WV. Google Maps claimed it was only about 14hr and 30 some odd minutes,but by the time you stop for gas, food, and piss breaks, that drivetime figure from Google goes out the window. Anyways...

Day 5 was originally our departure dayand we had only reserved the campsite at Dolly Copp for 4 nights. Wewere having such a good time and the fishing was so good, we alldecided we needed to stay 1 more day. To accomplish this, we had tomove our camp to a vacant campsite. It was surprisingly...

Day 4, was the day we had set aside todrive into Maine. We woke up at camp that morning and our campneighbors had packed up and left. We went to see if they had leftany firewood, and while we didn't find any leftover wood, we did find"Fairy Land". I guess you never know what type of...

Day 3 we headed for a differentdrainage, a different set of tributaries and streams. We foundsimilar action and results as the day before, but this time weweren't hiking into the back of beyond. We accessed some more easilyreached sections of a river that flowed beside and away from ahighway...

Day 2 found us hiking into a wildernesssection on a trail that I had ear marked on the Delorme and it wasrumored to have a pretty good population of brookies. It didn'tdisappoint. From the first hole we fished until the last we wereinto brookies. I honestly dont know how many were caught...
