    RL 26 Discontinued?????

    I have a sealed 8 pound jug of RL50 if this helps anyone . I can't ship , but if you're close we could work something out . I bought this when I couldn't find RL33 . I've made the switch to VV N570 . I'll probably work myself away from Alliant powders .

I sort through my Bergers , keeping the ones with open holes for hunting . the plugged holes I shoot at targets . you can check this...

    Is there a Better Burn Chart?

    to me , a burn rate chart is pretty much useless info . quickload gives the info I wanted . if you want to give your ammo specs , one of us guys will give a quickload powder chart . we would need to know BBL length , what cartridge you're loading , and the bullet being used , and...

    Excessive headspace on virgin brass

    also , the belt sets the "headspace " between the brass case and the bolt face . I'm not sure if "headspace" is the correct term for this . so the brass can be fireformed into whatever . once the brass is fired , you are much better off forgetting the belt . just size the brass to fit...

    300 Win Mag / 200 Accubond test (after neck turning)

    brass flows forward . the brass thins near the case head , and we trim it off the neck . eventually the thicker shoulder brass becomes neck brass .

    Best and safest way to dispose of ammo

    if these are reloaded , I'd pull them apart . keep the bullets , primers , and brass . if the brass isn't what you use , find it a home . throw the powder in the yard . factory ammo , try to find it a home . with the cost of this stuff I'd hate to just discard it .
