It's good to see some of the powders that got rare reappearing on the shelves. I even managed to snag some H1000 recently to bolster my supply (my .280 loves it with 174-grain bullets). I just have this nagging suspicion that we won't see a resupply of all these for another three or four years...
You must operate like I do, Bruce. I don't ever have to buy another component unless I just want to. There are some down sides to it, but the up sides RULE!
WTS NEED to sell - Model 70 Super Grade Midway edition, 1 of 500.
I've come to at a point in my life that I need to start downsizing and offload many items I have accumulated over the years. This one rifle is the most difficult for me to relinquish, so I am starting with this one...I figure if...
Thank you JD.
I sight in dead-on at 200 yards for all my centerfires and it will be interesting to see what the difference will be at that range. Based on what you're saying I doubt I'll even need to touch the turrets but I'll do whatever I have to do. Where I hunt a shot over 200 yards is not...
I am not at all concerned that they won't work, but I AM wondering if they'll load just like the regular Partitions will. It would be nice to be able to just use the same powder charge I've always used when loading for my .30-06 with Re16 and H4350 (I played with H4831 once as well, and it was...
Someone recommended AA2700 to me a while back. I'd found a really good load using 4064, but I tried 2700 anyway. I found just about the same accuracy, but noted that the 2700 load did not heat the barrel nearly as fast as 4064 does. I'm seeing groups of about 1/2 inch, and velocities well over...
Just a few threads down:

I'm willing to sell these outright. It seems my desires for a swap seems to be a no-go these days, so I'm willing to just sell outright and then go shopping for what I want. I'm...
I've had the same thoughts regarding component availability in general. Maybe, once the ammo market reaches saturation, components will become reasonably available again. Fingers crossed!
Having inventoried my bullets, I found that some of my standbys are getting a bit low and I have some other bullets I have not developed loads for and would rather not since primers and brass have been hard to find lately. Some are just bullets I want to quit using.
To simplify, my excesses...
I think it really just depends. If you're expecting impact velocities of 3200 fps, you need a tougher bullet and a mono may be just the ticket. If you have to shoot a mono, then choose a lighter one for your caliber and drive it as fast as you can accurately. If your cartridge can't drive the...
RL338, I saw that...it's encouraging and suggests that they may work. Maybe I'll just have to load some up and take em down to "the ranch" and see how the hogs like em. I could be surprised or I could be disappointed. I think I'm allowed to bring along some AB loads just in case they don't do...
So...I conducted an inventory on my bullet stash the other day and found I am sitting pretty. Among the bullets counted was about 500 of the 70-grain RDFs which I originally bought to try out in a Model 70 HB some years ago (before I found out the rifling was trashed in the original barrel) in...
Jim...I was searching for info on using Nosler RDFs for hunting and I ran across this thread. You pose an interesting question, and I have one answer to it.
When I was playing with the 6.5 Grendel in an AR a few years ago, I did a little searching and researching and stumbled upon the...
