You can’t argue with those results at all. Great job!

Aero makes quality parts. I like that they have the adjustment screw to take the play out of the upper and lower fit. You have a nice lower there. I also like the Burris scope. I have 2 new 4.5x14x42 Fullfield II’s with steel turrets I bought when they stopped making them.

I’m going to just have to load it to see how it performs. This powder seems unique to me, to say the least. Maybe interesting is a better word. The burn chart has it one below IMR4198. Load data has charge weights like H322 in 45-70. It’s a fine grain extruded powder made in the Canada IMR...

I’ve held onto both 4198’s like they are gold, for the price they’ll be when they hit the market again it may as well be gold dust. Lol. I’ve got 5 lbs of LT-32 I’m hoping will be similar. Haven’t tried any in my 45-70 yet. It’s a fine extruded powder between IMR4198 and RL7. Hopefully I’ll be...

My post above was meant in a matter of fact way. Not in any way condescending if it came across that way.

I load it 2 grains under the Hodgdon max with H4198 in my 22” barreled 1895 because it’s got a thicker jacket than the Hornady bullet.Thats max for my rifle and my shoulder. I load it to 2.590” because at 2.610” it doesn’t cycle in my rifle. You have to use the Lee FCD with this bullet. You...

Barrels are parts. Just like brake pads and rotors. Shoot it enough and you’ll need to replace it. Hard breaking from high speed wears out brakes. High pressure loads burn out the throats. You work on a hot rod more than a Sunday driver. Nothing comes for free. I don’t worry about barrels that...

Very nice rifle Fotis. My dad had a Winchester model 43 in 22 Hornet. My brother has it now. My dad shot a doe dead center of the white spot under her chin. She never moved, just strait down. I’m not saying it’s a deer rifle because I don’t consider it one, but it certainly worked that day we...

I forgot I had GRT on my laptop. It was dead on for my 450 Bushmaster. I’ll get my case volume and run those numbers. Thank you.

It sure will knock deer flat. I shot a running doe at 5 yards and it literally stopped her in mid air. Lol I’m 5 grains below Hodgdons lever starting load. Their 60 grain H4198 max load would be a beast. I can’t see how it wouldn’t be over pressure but they say it’s safe for the 1895. I tried...

How have you guys been doing? Haven't been on much. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to run a Quickload calculation for LT-32 in a 22” barreled 45-70. 4198’s have been mythical lately and this sits smack dab between RL7 and IMR4198 on the burn chart. It’s a small extruded powder...

308 powders for me are TAC, H4895, and CFE223, not in that order. 4895 is super consistent, honest 1 hole groups, not top velocities. TAC is fast and consistent. My 308 likes CFE223 pretty well but showed no promise at all until top loads. CFE223 works great with 150 grain E-Tips for me. It may...

Heck, now a days we‘re lucky we aren’t reusing them and using PrimeAll. Lol😂

I‘ll Probably never shoot what I have on hand as it is. I have a good stock of the new stuff, and plenty of all my old school standbys that will last longer than the throats of all my rifles. Powder, primers, brass, and bullets……… more than I’ll list here. As an example, I just loaded 100...

That’s a beautiful rifle Troy. It’s one to be proud of without a doubt.

I like Ramshot LRT a lot so far, but really want to get some first hand information on SB HD. Ramshot LRT seems to be the perfect burn rate for heavies in a 7RM. You start seeing pressure at about 107-110% case fill. Velocity is great, and accuracy is pretty nice even without doing any formal...

Hey Guy, have you or Gavin ran HD through it’s paces yet with a 7mm Rem Mag yet? I’ve been working with LRT with 175-180 grain bullets from a couple 26” 1:8 twist barrels getting some really great results. Im working an accuracy node at 2925 fps with Berger 180gr Hybrids. It’s showing a lot of...

Yes sir it can at that. Edit: I wasn’t intending to minimize anyone’s views. I was mostly asking how much that little bit of extra speed is worth in dollars. Especially when anything other than a mono or Partition usually comes apart at 3100 fps or higher.

Correct. 12.7mm x 60% = 7.62mm. The 30-03 was designed in 1903. The 50 BMG entered service in 1910 and was an upscaled 30-03 Springfield. That’s why a 50BMG operates at essentially the same velocities as the 30-06.

At what point does the justification for paying $70 per pound for powder reside solely in our own minds? I have many powders that will push a Ballistic Tip to the point of completely coming apart on game, and they don’t cost $70 per pound. They also provide moa or in most cases better accuracy...
