you can get some pretty strong velocity changes with that and W760 in the heat I have found.

I have noticed that with both those powders as well. They seem to be fine in cooler to cold though which we tend to have plenty of during hunting season here. Others have said they are sensitive at both ends of the temp spectrum but I have not had that experience.

I’m in the process of loading up 100 rounds of 6 Dasher for my next trip to the 600 yard range. The load is 32.5 gr of Varget, CCI 450 primer, 105 gr Berger Hybrid, Alpha brass.

A buddy of mine uses H414 with the 105 Berger and Alpha brass. I hope your opinion on Alpha brass is better than his.

This will be the second loading on this brass. Once it’s fired I’ll have 600 rounds through the rifle and 300 pieces of 2x fired brass. An annealer should be acquired before I start on the 3x loading.
I did see where Alpha has made changes to the brass in the head area.

Didn't load anything....but did have some components arrive. Five pounds of 4198 (700-ish loads for my .45/70) and 9,000 freedom seeds.

Received 1k 45 projectiles this week. Got 41 and 10mm brass in the tumbler from a range session this morning. Gonna load some fresh 10’s and 41’s this week to replace what was fired. The 41 is officially ready for deer season and the 10 is getting closer!

Just gotta find a load the 454 likes and get that scope zeroed and I will be ready
Finally loaded up some rifle ammo. Loaded several different loads of 30-06 130 gr. Barnes TTSX with H4895 and 6.5 CM Barnes 100 TTSX with H4350.
Sized, deprimed, chamfered and deburred 90 pieces of 300 win mag and 100 .223. They are in the Frankfort Wet tumbler now.
First time loading rifle ammo.

Brass came out looking good. Before and after.

isn't it neat that the inside is as clean as the outside. Sure makes loading nice when you can see the bottom without a light

Midway has CCI #41srp in stock at this time, $89/1000. Get them while you can.

What COL you got them at ....You may already know ...but Barnes like lots of jump ...
Will those fit your magazine?
Looks like you need to break the sharp edge on your seater plug ....it is cutting into the bullet ...400/600 wet/dry paper in a drill ...just get that sharp edge on the inside rounded ...

Looking forward to your range reports @01Foreman400
Mighty glad to see you are up and running with the handloading.
Good to know about the jump.....that confirmation is what I was hoping to hear.
I'll be loading some 130gr TTSX in both .30'06 & perhaps .308Win. One of the .308's is an AR-10. I may be dreaming...but having a load that plays well in each gun sure would be nice. My COAL will be restricted by magazine allowance.

Yep...only selling 1,000 to you every 7 days, too.
I suppose that is one way of rationing them out. I am not complaining as all that does is give me a headache.....they are there if we want them bad enough.
They also had LP & SPM in stock as well...1,000ct limit of each.
Brownell's has some powders as well.
Coming up dry on searches at Powder Valley.
These cats are still moving bulk tips:

To be honest I’m quite amazed at just how clean they get. Gonna clean some .40 S&W tonight with the same water and see how it turns out.
I’ll check when I get home on the OAL. I have the specs to the lands on each rifle as well.
I didn’t know that about the jump. So sticking with the OAL suggested is the best bet with the Barnes?
They fed just fine. I’ve already tested them.
Thanks for the tip. I was wondering about that…

Of the hard cast variety
I was given a Gallon zip lock full of assorted once fired pistol brass.
Going thru it now and finding 44mag, 44spl, 357mag, 38spl, 9mm and .380acp.

I bought 2,000 40 S&W cases of once fired from a guy. Got a bunch cleaned up with the same water/cleaner I cleaned the 300 Win Mag and 223 cases the other day.
