I walked into the new Cabelas in town and thinking they might be trying to impress everyone, I asked if they had much powder in stock. When I saw the line up, I was quite impressed and then I spotted...

C. Latch, you're right, it does appear on burn rate charts, right where I'd want it and might very well be what I'm looking for.

What with powders becoming scarce to nonexistent, at least near me, I'm starting to run out. I shoot my 358 win quite a bit and running out of H4895 & Varget and not getting a replacement has me...

I only came across window lead once, but it was straight from the foundry and it's analysis was supplied with it. There may well be more than one recipe, but this one contained .45% antimony and .06%...

I went through this a couple yrs ago. I phoned the company to see if I could buy direct. The nice lady informed me that they don't sell direct and no longer sell it in Canada. Simply a corporate...

I'm heading toward "almost" cast boolit only mode, however I'll probably always take my 270 while hunting the prairies. So far I've totally dedicated my 45-70, 43 mauser, 444, 358 Win. and .303 to...
358 Win. for me. What a treat to live with. I've never bought a piece of brass. Simply collect some 308 range brass, sort by brand, neck size it to .358. I've never split a neck if I anneal, and...

Does anyone have any idea if a soft nose boolit would slump during acceleration, if 2500 was the velocity target? I'd hate to think of it getting ironed into the bore as the body of the boolit passed...

I've done some experimenting with WC 820. Encouraged with help from Maven and Beagle, I've tried it in the 45-70 and 444. The 45-70 seemed to like filler, but it worked to satisfaction. The 444...

We just came back a few min. ago. No powder, no primers, but I didn't run afoul of the law either. The really good news is that we had a great time in Chicago. What a beautiful city. Clean, friendly...

Hi MT. I checked into it and you're absolutely right. I won't be bringing any such stuff home with me for sure. I didn't realize I'd be running that far afoul of their laws. I thank you for heading...

MT. Thanks for the warning. I'll check into it for sure, it's certainly not my intention to run any risks of breaking any laws. I'm a pretty straight guy. Ron.D

Hi Jack. Thanks for the headsup. They don't list smokeless powders on their website, but from your post it sounds like they carry them for sure. We won't be in a bus, but at least we can add a few...

Hi Crowbeaner. Thanks for the headsup. A little too far out of my way, but some good powders at good prices. An "A" for effort for sure. Ron.D

Hi Jim, the laws are pretty weird. I can bring in 8 Kilos (over 17lbs) of gunpowder and 5000 primers per person, but can't order and import a scope by mail. :killingpc I don't know about importing...

My wife and I will be making this trip in about 3 weeks. I'd love to know if there are any places to stock up on surplus powders, or if not, then a good deal on cannister powders. That is, a good...

I'm in the process of ordering a new Krieger barrel, for a Savage switch barrel. So far, I've decided on a 375-06 imp with a 15" twist, a .366 bore and .376 grooves, a #4 contour (.670 at the...

I have one and like it. Remember what you paid for it and keep your expectations in line. They're not that bad looking and solidly built. Mine regulated not too bad but so far 4-5" groups are about...
