Headsup. Ramshot Magnum and H1000 available!

[FOTIS]

Just got 5 lbs of Magnum. Very good temp sensitive powder from Ramshot. Just as stable as H1000! I have plenty of H1000 so not ordered. Works for most magnum cartridges and under $30/lbs.

Powder valley.

FYI

Is RS Magnum really faster burning than Magpro?

Thanks.

 

[FOTIS]

Yes it is. Very similar to RL26/Retumbo

 

[Yoteklr]

Thanks, I just remember Magro being advertised for the short magnum cases. And it looks like Hodgdon got it wrong.

Remember... the differences (even though 5 steps from slower to faster) can be so minute you might not notice same that much. Moreover, the physical characteristics of each cartridge/rifle/chamber can possibly make a difference.

I have just started using Magnum this past year and I have to admit, the stuff has been excellent in my 6.5 PRC with 139's and my 300 RUM with 168 TTSX's. Plus, you cannot hardly beat the price of it!

I don't pay too much attention to burn rate charts, when they are all that close they can swap places pretty quick with different lots of the powder.. Good reference but they aren't written in stone.

Learning the use the charts will allow the hand loader to continue loading with what is available.

I agree about that!

Scotty what are you seeing for velocity with magnum in the prc? what is your weight? I'm getting 2880 with 61.9gn of magnum. Bullet is a hornady bthp 140gn.

 

[SJB358]

3058 is what I’m showing with Magnum.



Seems to be accurate as well the few times I’ve tried the load.

 

[FOTIS]

Excellent results

 

[SJB358]

Pretty happy with it in my RUM as well.

 

[sako2]

Yes the accuracy is there mine are to. But my es and sd is a little high and i'm not close to the speed your seeing. Hornady data says i should be around 3000.

 

[Yoteklr]

Pretty happy with it in my RUM as well.

That's a hammer!

 

[DrMike]

Scott, you're getting some admirable results with the Magnum. I have used a lot of it, always with fair to good results in a variety of cartridges.

That is some good shooting with that Magnum. I've never used it, but if need be I would try it out.
