I started to get into the Enduron series of powder with the unobtanium Varget but with this news and Varget starting to show up a little Im glad I didn't change horses in midstream
Ive seen a few but the prices are, well, stupid high. I saw some CCI benchrest primers for roughly 165 per 1000.
At these prices I sure am glad I started putting primers back when Trump was President. Ive got thousands of primers.
Was in my local Wally World today and ran across 6-7 bottles of BH 209. 53 dollars for an 8oz bottle. That's 106 dollars per pound. Simply incredulous! Ive got a couple bottles left and when it's gone I'll go back to 777.
Well, I guess it's time to start buying up a few more boxes of my favorite bullets to add to my stash.
The only non-leaded bullets Ive tried were the TTSX. While they killed what I shot at, and I guess that's the end result, however, I do not like "non-leaded" bullets tho.
Ive got some Winchester and Federal primers from year 90, 91 and they all go bang when called on. They have of course been kept in a climate controlled environment. As others have said, if yours have keep cool and dry they are good to go.
Curiosity is not a bad a thing. Seeing that the 280 parent case is the 30.03 case, which is basically a 30.06, I was curious about making 280 brass out of 30.06 cases, wasn't hard.
Unless you were dealing with brass that was very hard to find or some uncommon wildcat, why would you want to do that? I would think case failure rate would be high going from 280ai back to "standard" 280.
A fool and his money are soon parted. Think about it, how can that site have every powder and primer available when you can't find some of those offerings with the FBI and bloodhounds anywhere else.
When a place only accepts Venmo and Zelle but no credit cards as payment, listen, can you hear...
When I bought these 150 NBT's I was using them in my 280 and they shot really well. That was until I tried the 154 gr SST. The 154 SST is simply outstanding out of my 280 with IMR-7828. I really have no use for the 150 gr NBT's except as trading fodder for 154 gr SST's.
Ive got a good many NBT's hiding out on my reloading bench. Here's part of the 7mm 150 gr NBT's I bought just before all this bullet "unobtanium" started. I started not to buy all of these that I did but I sure am glad I did now!
I have no problem with using once fired brass. Ive used once fired for years and as long as the nut behind the trigger is tight my hunting rifles shoot half to three quarters inch all day long.
There's still three more years of this "Let's go Brandon" regime. I don't see powder, primer or bullet supplies being enough that prices will be on the decline. If I had found a supply of my favorite powder I would figure how much I needed and buy enough to last me through this POTUS.
When...
Those XTP Mags will not reliably open at 45 colt velocity. The Mags bullets are tough and were made for high velocity. The one on left is the regular XTP. The Mag is on the right. See how the jacket wraps over the nose of the bullet. This bullet is tough.
The Federal brass I have has turned out to be some very good brass. I have found that weighing brass is not worth the effort but the times that I have weighed the brass it has been very consistent. With that said, it's only used for hunting tho.
I found it several weeks back and it was too good to be true for me. They have powder and primers everytime. Always remember, a fool and his money are easily separated.
Ask yourself a question, how on earth does the site in question have primers and powder when the major players in the reloading/shooting industry are high and dry without. The only form of payment is Zelle. Proceed with caution my friend.
