Don't know about price increase but seen powder showing up that hasn't been available for quite awhile. In two different stores I have seen H4895. This has been absent in my area for some time. Not cheap but available. Think was $65-67 lb.

I guess this is the proper place for this question if not please place correctly. Does anyone make a replacement magazine not made of plastic for the Ruger American Gen 1? I have one of these in 223 Rem that is a great grouper and enjoy it, but the magazines leave a lot to be desired. Have two...

Congratulations Fotis. Appears this rifle caliber is the ticket for antelope. Do the Bees get made if they aren't taken afield:unsure:

Has anyone used this powder and if so, which cartridges was it used in?

Glad you got to break-in your rifle and fill the freezer.

I like the looks of these better than the older Mod 77.

I like black powder as you do. Prefer it to Pyrodex. It's not hard to clean up after shooting either. Just make sure to remove all the fouling. Have tried different solutions over the years but one I use a lot I found in Muzzle Blasts magazine years ago uses Murphys Oil Soap, rubbing alcohol...

If not counting the 35 Rem I could be happy with a Nosler BT for all the deer hunting I do. No BT, AB or PTs made that would be a good fit for this cartridge, but it is an exception for sure.

Well stated Guy. Thank you for your impute and observation.

Happy Birthday and many more.

Looking over some of the comments let me add some more info. I first worked up this load last year without any extreme spreads. I shot this load again within the last couple weeks using the same components, two groups total of eight shots. I have looked thru my records of having used this powder...

Great shooting as always for you. Have a terrific hunt.

Developed these two loads for this rifle. Makes three. It's good to go for now.

Last year I worked up a load in my Sako Forrester 308 Win using Tac powder, Nosler 125gr AB, Win case and CCI 200 primers. Results were as follows: Average for four shots MV= 2957.2 ES= 20.8 SD= 7.7 Couple days ago, I shot this same load with the same components with these results" MV= 3029.2...

Congratulations. You put in the miles to earn it.

At 300 yds that looks good to me. As for the distraction and more clicks than intended I did something somewhat similar yesterday myself. Was sighting my Sako 308 win with the 125gr AB load and made an adjustment , shot, wasn't quite enough so instead of shooting another shot to make sure I made...

I have found that using the tumbler with corn cob media make sure to put enough of the polishing media in it when first using and to refresh each time with some more. If case necks are extremely dirty, I put some of the polish on a rag and twist the rag around the necks a couple times before...

Good reason for her to get a new rifle:D
