Nice!
What kinda powder was that again?

[Silicon Wolverine]

IMR SR7625. originally a midrange shotgun powder. ive made these loads for 308, 30-30 and 30-06 all waith good results.

SR7625; a tudge faster than Green Dot, he was using 7 gr.

I use a TL314-90-SWC cast of recovered range lead for basicly no cost over 3.2 gr Bullseye in the .308W (or most any .30/.31 cal cartridge) and it will shoot into a whole lot less than a "paper plate at 100 yards". Cost is less than 4 cents a shot at full retail for the primer and powder. Nothing really new there as he is just reinventing a wheel with SR7625 powder.

If he's standin' up on his hind legs and hitting a paper plate every time at 100 yds. that's pretty fair shooting.

We didn't see his target die we? Red Dot, Bullseye, 231, and 2400 will all do the same thing. Poor fellow acts like he invented the use of pistol powder in low pressure cast rifle loads.

SW isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. He's just trying to get you another option for reloading economical rifle cartridges.
After the shelves are picked bare by hoarders, you might appreciate knowing which shotgun powders can get you going.
He wasn't putting on any heirs that I could see in his video. Just telling about a powder he is excited about, while adding exposure to cast lead boolits.

contrary to popular belief there ARE pople out there who have no clue about reloading. My videos get thousands of hits evey month and 98% of feedback i get is positive, plus a good majority is from beginners. We arent all experts and im guessing at some point you asked someone who knew more than you a question.

goodsteel- Agreed

SW thanks for posting. All good info. NO re-inventing the wheel that I could see.

Nice to see other folks finding out cast is the way to go -been doing it for years! Been spending pennies per round since I was 25 or so! Cast for every caliber I shoot, always have always will!

Absolutely correct about that. However the video gives the impression he's come up with something new. Some of us (actually many of us) have tested most all the powders, except for the newest ones, which includes SR7625 with cast and jacketed loads; reduced or otherwise. I doubt any of us came up with such loads either as they've been in use well before any of us were born.

BTW; if you've shot high power successfully (200 yard off hand) hitting a paper plate at 100 yards is no great feat. Actually you'd better be hitting a clay pigeon at 100 yards 8 times out of 10 to be classified an Expert or higher. The 10 ring at 200 yards is slightly smaller than a regular paper plate.

I agree. I have more than once all but been called a liar when I say similar. Of course decades ago I lucked out when my now son-in-law worked in a busy tire shop and got me many 5 gallon buckets of WWs.
