RL TS 15.5 in .308
Many thanks to all for all the info! I'll give it a try on the 168's, and see if I can get it to perform. Looks like in the meantime, I'll concentrate on the 175's with the RL TS 15.5 (still haven't quite convinced myself to open that jug yet). The urge to experiment with the powder is very...- patrad

RL TS 15.5 in .308
Thanks spife and regionrat! Very much appreciate the info. All that is info that I've been trying to put to use. Got a LOT more thinks to put into this, since data is kinda sparing. And yes, I'm aware of that burn rate/bullet weight thing, too. It'll take some time, but I'll get into it as soon...- patrad

RL TS 15.5 in .308
Thanks spife. Been there already, with no help for my bullet info. Does possibly help in referencing powder weights, though - just not for my weight range, except the Fed 175 Terminal Ascent. Powder Valley also has one - with the same problem for me - nothing in my weight range except the Fed...- patrad

RL TS 15.5 in .308
Many thanks, straightshooter1! I'd been debating even opening the jug and maybe selling it. I was considering maybe starting at 40.5 or so if I tried it. Really would like to see if it'll work out. I'd start at 2.80 COAL (then experiment up to mag length), I believe, but 41 sounds better. Can't...- patrad

RL TS 15.5 in .308
Howdy all. Been a while since I was here. I'm looking for any info on RL TS 15.5 in .308. And yes, I did do a search with only a couple of hits. Apologies if I missed the info. So I'll give it a try, and see what turns up. Your knowledge will be appreciated! I recently got an 8# jug of this...- patrad

Best Small Distillery Bourbon
Re: Best Small Distillery Bourbon I found a hooch seller today that has both Basil Hayden and Bookers. Never would've figured this one to have anything better than Wild Turkey. Which would be the recommended pick if I can only get one? Y'all take care.- patrad

Best Small Distillery Bourbon
Re: Best Small Distillery Bourbon Howdy all. Time to add my 2 cents. I've previously tried several of the bourbons that have been listed, like Makers Mark; Gentleman Jack; Eagle Rare, and like that - the easy to find ones. In the last 2 weeks (since I found this thread), I've tried - for the...- patrad

New member introduction
Howdy all. Just wanted to introduce myself. Been reading a lot here, and finally joined this month. Just starting to get back into handloading after a disability retirement parked my butt at home, instead of going all over the country from job to job like I have the last 30 years. Unfortunately...- patrad

This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks!
Re: This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks! Thanks for the thread, turbo54. I've been fortunate enough not to have had a case head separation **SO FAR** . This is the best pic I've seen of one. Great info, and thanks also to those who posted. Y'all take care.- patrad
