Good way to almost kill off an entire pound of powder
View attachment 359508


LOL, always one of those moments when you go from throwing .223 charges to a magnum. "WTF, where did my powder go?"

********

Prepped the first 50 rounds of virgin Norma brass for my 7mm RM. I had been using once fired Federal stuff that I had scrounged during the last component crisis. It did okay, but I'm hoping for a little tighter ES and SD.

I throw a 2-grain charge of Promo in 32 Long. 3500 rounds per pound.

I'll never use up that 8-lb jug.

I need to get back in my room badly, noticed a couple weeks back that my 38 spcl is almost dry (or I couldn't find them in the pigstye my room has become in my absence!). I ordered 500 148 gr WC's and 500 primed brass this morning for around $110 total, and already have a shipping notice on the bullets!

Just learning how to reload. This is after my 6.5 guys ladder test. Found where I think the nodes are. Yes this is 6.5 rounds. Let’s see how they do.

6.5 is a very forgiving round to load for. Kinda like .308. Even my worse loads were pretty good.

What bullet/powder combo?

Loaded up some 5 round groups at two different seating depths for my Bergara in 6.5 this afternoon. Switching over to Alpha brass and stuck with 40.9 grains of H4350 for my charge. Going to shoot some over a Chrono this weekend and some at 300.
