    accurate arms powder

    For all those frustrated 4895, Varget and RL15 users who are now without, I suggest you look at AA2495, AA2520. Both powder provide good results in the 308 class of cartridges. I am told AA also makes a 4064 type powder. I loaded several thousand rounds of match 308 ammo for my M1A with 41.7...

I see they sell powder through expander inserts for differant calibers. Ultimately I would like to set...

    The following has been copied from a tip in the ballistic software Precision shooter workbench 4.. "In general, muzzle velocity will increase with increasing powder temperature and decrease as the powder temperature decreases. The "per degree" change of velocity depends upon a number of...

    More powder at Walmart........ 2nd time this week!

    I just got home from Wally World and brought 12 bottles of Varget and 8 more RL 22 home with me. This was another load that came in last night. Keep check if your Walmart sells powder as it should be there if someone hasnt already bought it all.
