at one time , my thoughts on V- V powder , was I couldn't buy it locally , and it was expensive powder + the hazmat ,+ shipping costs , made it to where I'm not paying that . then we got into the scarce components saga . now V-V powder is priced inline with other brands , or maybe cheaper...

@ BLKram , I'm going by memory here , so I could be off some . I'll guess within the past 5 years , Douglas had a Death . I "THINK" his name was "Stan" . I'm not sure if he was an employee , or if he was in amongst the ownership . from what I've read ; Stan , seemed to be...

H4895 is an excellent powder for making reduced recoil loads , if you have a new shooter coming up .

they just need banned .

I don't see any accuracy problems with belted cases , they are just as accurate as non belted . I don't do anything different when sizing either case . get them fully expanded and set the shoulder back about .002" . I've never noticed a problem with the case bulge right above the belt ...

did you happen to look through the bullet test section on this forum ? there is just about any bullet one can think of posted there . most guys list the impact velocity and how much penetration . this might help you make up your mind .

I bought my son a new Ruger 22 pistol for Christmas , years ago . it had problems jamming right out of the box . I thought if I could run some ammo through it , it would work it's self out . it never got better . it got tossed to the back of the safe and pretty much forgot about . years...

Denise , used to keep hummingbird feeders out . hers did get a couple other birds . she kept the hummingbird feeders beside regular seed birdfeeders though . what I remember best , was yellow jackets being drawn to the hummingbird feeders . the yellowjackets would keep the birds chased away .

I would not call the clumpy stuck powder a problem . this is a fairly common thing , I see , with H1000 powder . I've pulled some H1000 ammo apart , and had to dig "ALL" the powder out of the case , with a screwdriver . I know what your saying though . your looking hard , and it's...

yesterdays morning walk . this hen was leaving a food plot headed towards big timber open woods , with a lot of oak trees / acorns . I could not hear any talk from this hen , so I assume she was alone . she was no more concerned about me being there , and gave lots of time to get my phone...

yea , I agree . He is a well rounded kid , and will do great in life . he was telling me , at the beginning of this summer he was bored . he talked to his parents about taking a summer class , and they approved . He logged into his online school portal , and signed up for algebra 1 ...

my gut told me there would probably be issues with the loaded ammo . heck the powder is eating the lids off the containers , and he lids are sealed and not touching the powder . it would almost have to do something to what it's touching . but hey , we'll send you new lids .

sounds like that one was ready to go , and already in a box , just waiting for a name and address to ship it to .

I've thought about doing something like this too . I'd enjoy it . I see this is a couple years ago . is this working out for you ?

LOL , when he was younger , I'd tease his Mom and Dad about I'll spoil him and send him home for them to deal with . I guess showing him bad things could apply too . this was getting to be my last try , to get him to set down that dang phone . He's 13 , and I think the phone is a...
