Can't be picky at this point. Does anyone know where to find it? It's like it's not even being made. No one has it. I stocked up on primers and bullets but only have 300 or so pieces. Would like some more.

I ordered a timney 3lb trigger to replace the factory trigger on my bushmaster I bought the day after the election. Not a minute too soon. Anyway the gun is incredibly accurate but the trigger stinks. Does Anyone know if Bushmasters are still using small pins for the assembly or are they the...

I'm noticing about a +or- 200 fps increase in velocity over my current loading according to Alliant's online data. Is anyone using this powder and have you found any increases in velocity over other powders? I'm looking at using it in 243 and 270 and 7mm rem mag my quest to find one powder...

I was currious what powders any of you have used in the 139-145 gr bullets in 7mm mag. I used H4831 in the past with Hornady 139 BTSP's, I recently bought some 145 gr Speer BTSP's I was currious about your accuracy powder - which ones have you guys used and found good results. Thanks - I...

Got a buddy who is loading some screamers but has not had luck with his load development. I used to load 300 win, but the lightest I ever loaded was 150's. He is using varget, but I think it is a bit fast burning. I recommended H4350, RL22, or H4831, and my top recommendation was h H1000...

In the past, I have always loaded to SAMI specs when it comes to OAL, and added about .01-.02 to that length - seems to work well in both my 700's in 270 and 7mm rem mag as well as my Howa 1500 in 22-250 and 243. I tested some 95gr VLD's and discovered they were all over the place - I also...

Took My son hunting with me - I'm really proud of my 7 year old, not because he shot something, but because he didn't and had the opportunity - he apparently listens to me more than I give him credit for. On Saturday afternoon, we had just gotten to the stand, we weren't up there 5 minutes. We...

Ran my test rounds today - got a REAL nice group with open sights @ 25 yds. I'm shooting Hornady 125 gr XTP's. Accuracy charge was 21.6gr. out of my Taurus with 6" barrel. This is a hunting round. Note to self - hearing protection was used, and is not optional when hunting with this round...

The stuff is awesome! I loaded a variety of rounds pushing 100gr. Speer Boat tail soft points. I got sub MOA accuracy out of 3 different charges - very unusual 42.5, 43.0 and 43.5gr. I may have also had a sub MOA out of 42.gr. I switched to H4350. I got sub MOA @38.5gr of that load. The...

I have never loaded "ball" type powders because I have always heard they are heat sensitive. I live in South Texas where we have 2 seasons - Hot, and Not as Hot... I was really leaning toward using H414 in a new 243 until I found out it was ball. Have any of you experienced accuracy issues...

been shooting 22-250 for quite some time, but in discussing a rebarrel for faster twist with a local gunshop owner, he suggested that I go to 243. I had been thinking that in the back of my mind, and so I traded up. I have several powders that will work - IMR 4064, H4895, H4350, benchmark, and...

Does anyone know where or what sites to look at to find a rifle barrel? Specifically, I'm looking for a 1:10 -1:9 twist rate for a 22-250 so I can shoot heavier bullets. I have a howa 1500. My current twist is 1:14. I'd like to shoot 65-70 gr bullets for hunting applications. 1:14 is ok...

This was a really cool hunt. Saw all kinds of deer. I went with the intensions of shooting a pig, but they soon turned. My son wanted to try to shoot a deer - he's only 6, and I was not about to let him sling lead at bambi without him proving he could hit the broad side of the barn. He shot my...

I have tried many powders and never could find an accuracy load that was under max for my 55gr. Sierra Game Kings till now - H4895 and 34.5 gr shot a sub 1" MOA 4 shot group. The issue had traditionally been getting shot #4 inside the 1" - probably due to barrel heat, but H4895 finally did it...

I was currious what acceptable variations (due primarily to diffences in ogive and/or soft tips) do you tollerate for your rounds? This topic is specific to rifle rounds.

Anyone load for this and has anyone tried it? I had issues w/ Benchmark in hot weather. Decided to try this powder. Not looking for loading data - I'll work up my loads. Just curious what others have experienced with this powder & this cal. I'll be loading it with Sierra Game King 55gr...

Anyone actually ever used the stuff? I'm currious if it is another snake oil product or if it actually has any validity?

going to try one of my 40 S&W rounds - 135 JHP behind 11.gr of Longshot powder. Velocity is 1386-1399 fps. going to try to take an axis in the 30 yd & under range next week. Hopefully we'll have some pix to show next week.:)

Wow...Just noticed I hit 1000. Hope to post 1000's more. I've met more people, learned 10x more than I could have on my own. Thanks everyone for friendship, and lessons over the years.

I just chrono'd some loads, and discovered a problem - I did it because of strange shot patterns. May be the powder charge - please note I hand trickle each round to the exact weight. Here's the issue. I've had excellent luck with this powder on 50gr. speer's. They scream - 3918 give or take...
