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?
what weight was shot? from 50 yards to 100 i don't see much difference in drop using 135 to 155's in 4-6" barrels. kinda like my 357sig shooting 90-125's at 100 yards also. both are fairly flat. wednesday my velociradar comes in so i can finally check my handloads.
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...
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...
before so many alliant powders were becoming unavailable or less available alliant was going to introduce rl13. i never found any info on what cartridges it would be used in or if it were like 15.5,m 16, 23 & 26 type as a "more green" powder?
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)...
you have more will power than i do and glad for you! i'm about 5'9" and weighed 225 for decades. i've lost 35# due to pain keeping me from eating.............i'd rather be overweight than live the way i'm right now! i used to be able too workout when i had the time, but baling alfalfa...
