Anybody ever see these before?
Black coated nickel game sierras both in .308 and 6MM at Raven Rocks supposedly for another OEM

If nickel plated I wonder if they are harder so expand less than...
Last I saw RL22 was at a local store they had it at $75 a pound went back months later and it was still on the shelf. At some point prices get to high to sell.
Now with all these tariffs soon to hit if any of you see a good deal on powder, primers, bullets, brass etc you might want to think about buying it. I expect prices will be passed to us as there are still shortages and they know they don't need to take the hit. If an 8lb jug of powder costs $400...
Ramshot Hunter is for heavier grain projectiles in 30/06 if you have an adjustable plug on your Garand you could possibly use it but it is not the powder for the Garand. Ramshot doesn't really have a powder for the Garand closest likely being Big Game but even that powder may have too slow of...
Ramshot Hunter is good in the .270 if you want something cheaper than 4831.
I got lucky I bought most of my bullets before 2020 in .270.
I have plenty Partition 140 grain and 150 grain.
I also got the Federal Fusion bullets in 150 grain cheap as well but today neither are cheap.
I prefer...
There was a test done awhile back you can see the results but this is the results of the rifles that were used for that test.

Of course weather and guns used can change all the results for someone else trying...
You have some good hunting ground I live in Warren but have property in Bentley which is about half way between Standish and Gladwin. My plan is retiring there in about 10-15 years.
Ron Spomer did a comparison of the .35 Remington to the new .360 Buckhammer and the new cartridge has more power. I don't understand why Michigan would not allow the 30/30, .35 Remington. .444, 45/70 when these new cartridges keep pushing the envelope higher then some of these old cartridges...
What kind of stinks is they are offering free hazmat if you buy $150 worth of primers. So if you need primers as well then you could knock the hazmat fee off the price as well.

Not a bad price by today's standard. Not sure I want to get another powder I loaded up on the Magnum powder and have other powders in the same range that I need to burn thru first.
"Alliant Powder Shortage
The Alliant Reloader powder shortage appears to be easing as of January 2025, according to recent discussions in reloading communities. However, the situation has been complex and has shifted over time.
As of May 2024, Alliant Powders had suspended shipments of their...
It won't for long when some people lose facial parts from exploding rifles. Too much pressure for most of the guns being manufactured today. Only rifles I'd trust with that much power are double rifles, Ruger 1s and Mauser style actions with heavy bolts to protect you.
I have this model for at least 5 years and have had no issues. Case prep machines will likely outlast other reloading components since it is basic mechanical systems not requiring electronics like a powder measure scale...
Well at least they did not shrink the bullets weights yet. Imagine buying 180 grain but only weighing 177 grain. Kind of like what they did to food packaging and lumber.
