I had trouble getting lighter bullets out (read: 50gr .223) with the kinetic. I bought a collet puller & use it now. I wish the Hornady cam lock had been out when I was shopping, seems like it would be faster than the RCBS screw down system I have.

In my box stock Savage 10 PC, 20" 1/10 barrel, I'm getting 2600-2610. But, you've got a different rifle. :)

Locked is fine, as long as the storage container has weak joints that will fail without causing an explosion. You could make a simple wooden box with glued joints that would be relatively secure (keeping the honest people honest) with a shackel lock on it that would work just dandy. Good luck!

Can you say grenade? Knaack is right. Fire code specifies suitable powder storage, but I'm on my phone so can't give a reference. I use a cooler with a non locking lid. Gives some temp stability, and should pop right open if something bad happens.

My dog will certainly tell you that my yard is different than my neighbor's. However, I'm pretty sure that the electric and water companies are metric... Sorry. After shooting with some folks this weekend, I'm ready to switch to Mil/Mil FFP. Had trouble calculating the calls into my minute...

MGM has some with 4 or 6 plates, and a .22 version if you need that. MGM is a huge shooting sports supporter, and you won't find any better steel - google them for proof. http://mgmtargets.com/tstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=47 I am not affiliated with...

Re: How many use CCI 450 mag primers w/ .223 varget? I did some side by side testing with CCI std and mag primers using varget & blc2 with 55gr softpoints. The mags actually shot a few fps slower, no pressure signs on anything. I didn't notice any accuracy difference, but the way I shoot...

Re: WST for 9mm ?? See? I knew somebody would be along that knew more than me. So much for extrapolation. Glad you got some real advice!

Re: WST for 9mm ?? Patience, I'm sure somebody that knows what they're talking about will be along in a while... That being said, I think WST might be too fast for 9mm. I use WS<span style="font-weight: bold">F</span> in 9 & 40, and it works pretty well for me, WST is a faster powder than...

Re: .40 S&W I use WSF with a 155gr plated bullet. It's a little dirty, but I think that's cuz I load it light - around 900fps, and it would work better with heavier bullets from what I read. Anyway, I've got a lot of it & WSF meters nice, so I'm happy. I use it in 9mm also. Lots of...

Re: A Shooter's Ode To Varget Well done! Thank you for that!

Re: wife self defense weapon... I've got a Kahr CW9. I like it a lot, never had any issues with it (500+ rounds downrange, lots of different ammo). No external safties, just point & click. It's got a longer double actionish trigger pull, but it's very smooth. I liked it better than the PM...

Re: How Ammunition Reacts in a Fire — SAAMI Video Repo I agree. They could have made the same point with 10% of the ammunition and given me a nice Christmas present!
