    Midwest Powders Discussion

    Midwest Powders Discussion

    Since the last jug I bought had "similar to AA2230" on the label and webpage, but now they have a basic starting load. Maybe they realized the powders really didn't match up in similarity? Or maybe AA powders sent a letter to refrain from using or claiming AA powders are similar.

    Leupold or vortex

    I hear this mentioned fairly often, but don't understand how it helps. Let me see if I'm correct: Assuming I zero'd at 100yds and only have 12 mils up elevation remaining in my turret. If I move to 300yds and have to "add" (dial) 2 mils up via the turrets to get zero'd, wouldn't I only have 10...

    Training Courses San Diego Course Precision Rifle September 2025

    Could someone from out of state, non-LE come to Ca and bring their can? Since Ca has sooo many laws/rules/roadblocks? Kind of conflicting between you and @waveslayer

    Excited To Start A Sniper Rifle Collection From FL

    Cool, I like the M14 rifles. Prefer the "classic" M14 based sniper like the M21 or Port Security versions vs the newer EBR.

    American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders

    Update to the various MP powders listed as "Similar to AA2230". American Reloading responded to me in an e-mail that they were all the same bulk powder, but different lots as @RegionRat suggested. Therefore they assigned a different number to each. Thanks
