Good catch. They always show both powders they carry in 1 lb cans and 8 lb jugs. I never bought either of those 2 powders so didn't look closely that it's only listed as 5 lbs. That changes things.
Boy that makes me feel good! Hopefully he will negate the standard procedure of 10% for the "big guy" to get it done. He is after all a mafia, I mean a master negotiator. I'll be sitting here on pins and needles waiting for..........you know, the thing.
A place here that always has good prices on powder has 8 lbs for $430. So their normally good prices does not apply to RL-16. Yet they have 8 lbs of RL-25 and RL-19 for $270. That is better priced than IMR & Hodgdon powder that they have in things like 4350 & 4831.
Only 1 experience with them but based on that they'd be quite a bullet for those kind of applications. I have a partial box left of the 200 grain Lever series for my 348. They claim those bullets expand down to 1200 FPS. I was sending them out at 2510 and I jug tested 1 at a mere 20ft instead...
Thanks guys for the feedback. Sounds like it's about middle of the road pricing, can find them a little cheaper or more expensive. I guess at that I'll let them sit since I don't have immediate need for them.
I keep a couple packs around for loading a buddies 17 hornet, but I don't personally have anything right now that would take SR primers, but never know I could run across a 223 I like and I wouldn't mind getting a 17 Hornet myself, I just have yet to run across 1 local.
LGS called they have SR...
Had some hail damage to my 04 truck recently. Took it in to a dealership to get an estimate for the insurance company. While I was there I walked around the lot. They have a USED truck there for $65,000. That's more than half of what I built my house for in 2001. Like I said in the above...
Not saying they can't or wont, but it wont be anytime soon if they do. That inflation is a nasty infection that digs in and is hard to get rid of. Add to that a supply that still seems no where close to keeping up with demand, and yeah, not looking to come down in the near future unless some...
Made some calls yesterday while I was on the road to a couple small out of the way shops. Still the best chance to either get better prices or to find stuff that the stores everybody is checking out wont have.
Couple shops had IMR 4064. Not cheap as $46 was the cheapest shop, but they have...
I'm content sticking with the cheaper stuff that has worked and will continue to work out as far as 99.9% of people will shoot at game or have the ability to hit game. Nothing wrong with getting into a specialized game but that high BC stuff doesn't start to show it's real advantages until it's...
Yepper, never pass stuff like that up if it's what you shoot. If a person keeps their eye out things turn up. Picked up 2 boxes of Hornady 180 gr RN for $10 a box couple yrs back at a retail shop, then when things got really hard to get I traded a can of powder a guy gave me for 2 more boxes...
Everybody has to know what they shoot and what will allow them to continue shooting regardless of outside circumstances. Several thousand wouldn't do it for me unless things are gonna get better, and there's no guarantee of that. I wont say what I have but if prices and availability are still...
Yep to both above. More than 60 grains, slow powder or ball powder at those charge weights, or extreme cold weather. I agree with Joe, that short powder column in the 300 WSM should help and it's not using really slow powders or massive charges........either or should work fine unless you're...
With what you're working with obviously the simplest thing is to use 250 Savage brass, but depending on the price and availability right now for that brass, something like 22-250 brass might be an attractive option.
Other than changing the neck diameter only for something like necking up 30-06...
My problem is, it's not my rifle. I took this on as a favor......work up a load for it, load some up for him to use, give it back. I got enough of my own stuff to deal with not excluding spring crops, doing all the mechanical upkeep on tractors etc and just general everyday care of all the...
Yep. What you see in that video is significant enough that it could be all of the problem, and a bedding job could turn it into a tack driver, or it might not do a bit better. If it was mine and I wasn't gonna send it back, I'd try bedding it first.
I have seen rifles, specifically 2...
Front to rear slop back and forth.
Here's what it did yesterday when I tested it again which has been fairly typical. The first 2 shots were not bad, they are the middle shot and the 1 to the right. Next shot was the 1 right next to the dot, next 1 was straight up, last 1 is the far left...
