My sweet bride picked me up a lb of N540 today. I’ve gleamed through one book (Lyman 50th) and found a load for 308 win. But that’s all, what all do you use that powder for?

I picked up a M1 grand at a show a few weekends ago has a new 270 barrel on it. Looks like he put a new receiver on it as well since it’s newer than the rest of the gun.

I have more 9mm brass than I wanna shoot but it was intriguing to see the aluminum casings since that was new to me. Seen painted and laqoured steel but never aluminum.

I assumed aluminum plated for corrosion but wouldn’t think full casing buddy gave me the 20 rounds guess I’ll shoot em and toss em. I wouldn’t think alum would hold up to resizing very well.

My buddy gave me some of this stuff is it really aluminum? Or just coated steel? Releasable?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201119/99898524eb5807cc9b405dec777e6e96.jpg

So sounds like I’ll either need to check the boolits or go with a heavier one and pc. Which I’ve liked the way my heavier j words preform in my rifles so that sounds viable it’s just all that extra...
Making a 300BO upper would be best loading sub ammo for the 300BO is simple I’ve run it with a 16” and a 10-1/2” barrel and both barrels like it very well. That said if you are wanting a can on it...
Does anyone use cast in the AR platform .223/5.56? I’d like to load more for the AR but not sure if it’s worth trying to cast tiny boolits. What’s y’all’s thoughts on the cast with this platform?
