    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    i've read that about the 500 series powders on being barrel burners regardless of some being less temp sensitive/stable. i do have some 160 & 165 powders to try for my larger magnums and may try some in the 5.6prc & 7saum?

    Bullets for reduced recoil loads

    reduced recoil can be made in many forms! powder and bullet weights are the biggest 2 that WILL have a reduced effect. a lighter faster moving projectile will do this as a heavier bullet moving slower with the SAME m.e. has a reduced effect on recoil. faster burning powders that produce...

    270 WSM Ladder Test with Hunter and IMR 4831 and 150 Interbonds

    In the pre64 I used that combo in i decided after 2,500+ rounds thru it to not shoot it any more. I've got around 3# left and for my 2 other 264wm 's I'll be using other powders. I bought a post64 in '15 or '16 that only has 3 rounds down the pipe and 1 i built on a 110 action for the...

    what are you using blue dot in? i don't reload shotgun, so i use it in a few pistol cartridges. when you can reload 500-700 rounds per # one thinks he'll never run out? i guess if they never make any more and you continue to use bb, then you will at some point. i only was able to obtain...

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    33, 19 and 10x (6-8# of each) are what i have the most in on alliant as 15, ar-comp, 17, 22 and 25 all have 2# or less left. i'm transitioning into vv powders since my favorite imr4831 is all but gone. probably saving the 17 for 308 and 7-08 and 22 and 25 for i'm not sure which cartridge(s)...

    Gaps in your caliber battery

    with the 30tc being a creed i guess i could go 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 30creed, ie 30tc for all gaps and maybe 20cal. if wikipedia is correct, then the 30tc is the parent case? 30tc has (listed) about 1,400psi less on max pressure than the creed line, but close enough. 250savage is...
