    Mixing powders ok?

    Re: Mixing powders ok? Diesel-You are indeed correct and I apologize. I truly must be losing my mind. I guess that is a sign that I have too many irons in the fire right now as I had absolutely no recollection of posting that earlier. I think I must have posted while on hold on the phone and...

    Mixing powders ok?

    I know not to ever mix powders of different types but what about the same type powder but from different lots? Back when the powder shortage was in full swing I was able to pick up several 1 lb. containers of Varget from different vendors as I came across them. Would it be ok to mix these...

    Question about mixing powder

    Back when Varget was so difficult to find, I was able to pick up several 1 lb containers from different vendors here and there. As would be expected, most came from different manufacturing lots. Would it be ok to mix them all together in an attempt to minimize the impact of the lot variances...

    reloading help

    Re: reloading help FWIW, A neighbor of mine recently gave me a bunch of Win 209 shotshell primers that had been stored outside in a shed in hot/humid South Louisiana for the last 15 years and although the boxes were stuck together inside the sleeve, once you opened each pack of 100 they...

    Question-Bullet Comparators

    Re: Question-Bullet Comparators ...and the light bulb finally comes on!! I guess I just needed you guys to dumb it down enough for me to get it. It all makes sense now though, so thanks for taking the time to write such clear and concise explanations. I guess I am just trying to be so...

    Question-Bullet Comparators

    Re: Question-Bullet Comparators I guess what is confusing me is this, the two comparators are obviously calling different places on the bullet the "ogive" and using that as the point of measurement. I mean, if I set the seating die based on the measurement I got using the Hornady comp. so...

    Question-Bullet Comparators

    Re: Question-Bullet Comparators Thanks for the replies but the problem is not with the gauge, it works great, it's with the comparator. The bullet goes into one further than it does the other and I don't know which one to believe. I mean, there is a 95 thousanths difference between them. I...

    Question-Bullet Comparators

    I'm just getting started reloading and am confused about something already. I am using a Hornady Lock-N-Load OAL gauge and the associated 30 cal. bullet comparator. After measuring the OAL many times to get a good average, I tried doing the same thing using a Sinclair comparator. All of my...

    Varget availability ???

    Re: Varget availability ??? Yeah, Varget is beginning to show up now. I bought some last week online, Sinclair's called yesterday and said they were shipping my backorder and my local shop just got some in this week as well so I believe the Varget crisis is finally coming to an end!

    Savage?

    Re: Savage? Not trying to hijack the thread but I didn't want to start a new one on such a similar subject so here goes. My son is considering a Savage 10 FCP w/McMillan A5 stock (in .308 ) He found a new one for just under $1000. I've never owned a Savage but from what I have read here and...
