Ok thanks. That's what it's looking like to me as well.

Guys, guys... Thanks a bunch, but I'm not looking for more load data. I have lots of load data.

I am just looking to buy an 8 pounder of a fairly fast shotgun powder. I initially was looking...

Thanks!

And unfortunately I know precisely what you mean about remembering!!

Wait, what were we talking about?

;~)

Vettepilot

Might be good then in 350 Legend?? Seems like I've heard that it's not all that great in 4570?

Vettepilot

Yeah. Don't get me started on loading manuals. I've got bunches just to search out loads that use the components I have. BPI has some crappy sneaky methods for getting the most bucks out of you by...

Ok, thanks. Pretty low velocity, but that's to be expected.

Vettepilot

Seems like I see quite a few people using 7383 in 30.06, which is good for me. Not so many in 308 though. Not enough case capacity in 308??

Vettepilot

Well, it's good to know 7383 can be used in 7.62x39, and that it produces enough gas to cycle. I generally use 125 grain projectiles in that caliber though, and I shoot AK, and an AR in that...

Ok, new question. I am just trying to get a modest stock before it's either gone, or priced so high I'm out of luck.

I load both 20 and 12 gauge for fun, no competition. Everything from light 20...

Well, regarding chrono usage. I think the only useful info would be looking for a "point of diminishing returns" plateau. Being a "too slow" powder, the overall velocities will be slow. Trying to...

Regarding working up shotshell loads...

I'm a "maker", and sometimes dream up things I will never get around to building.

How about a stronger barrel for shotguns, that would tolerate higher...

What the heck??? On the Hodgdon reloading site, have a look at the "Muzzleloader" data section. How bizzare is that???

Vettepilot

Oh yeah. That's the most aggravating thing about loading for shotgun!!

"Ok, that load looks good----> nope, don't have that primer." "Ah, there's another one---> nope, don't have that frickin'...

Oh! Interesting about primers! I'll have a look...

Vettepilot

Thanks guys. I had not bought shotgun powder in several years, and was unaware of Hodgdon's forced move to Perfect Pattern and High Gun. They are not even on my home reference burn chart.

What a...

Since the powder is a bit slower than we might like, one would tend to go with heavy for caliber weights, right?

Or would the heavier bullets taking up room in the case be more of a factor??
...

Hey everyone, Happy Memorial Day (weekend)! Though it's my least favorite holiday as it marks the beginning of the unbearable hot season. (Gets to 130 here!!)

Anyway, where have all the shotgun...

Thanks guys. Yes, I had already found, and read the info you referenced.

My lot is either 48000 or 48001. (Don't remember and don't have access at the moment-- I think 48000.)

Thanks,...

I would like to keep this thread alive.

Back during the height of the shortage, in a panic, I bought 24 lbs. of 7383 from Bartlett. I keep looking it up from time to time, trying to accumulate...

Well, a 12 gauge shell uses around 85 grains of powder. An inline 50 cal uses 150 grains for a "Magnum" load. Many rifles use only 60 grains, and pistols 30 or less. So yeah, him blowing over 9000...

Yeah, that's suspicious I'd say. Either he got nervous about it and took it down, or the nannies did, I would say.

It's curious that it was a ".pdf" file. Those are generally text files; not...

I can't get that to connect or download, but would like to see it. Help?

Thanks,

"I am from the government and I'm here to help you."

Oh yeah...

Face it guys, sooner or later our BP activities will be disallowed. Count on it. The government must protect us from ourselves....

Hey, whatever works! As long as you get good powder in the end, which you obviously do. I have made so many of my own tools in my life, and saved a fortune.

Vettepilot

Definitely.

I also find that gently running your fingers back and forth moving/spreading the powder repeatedly over the screen to be a big help instead of just shaking only.

Sometimes this...
