    Is there any ball powder that is as temp stable as Varget?

    OP asked about ball powders that were similar to Varget… Why are you guys talking about unavailable stick powders he can’t get? (XBR & H4895]

    Brass consistency hierarchy

    OP didn’t mention neck tension or bullet runout… Neck tension is a big variable in having flyers and good accuracy… Bullet runout can cause flyers as well. Neck tension can get you deep in the weeds though… look out!🥸🤔

    Is there any ball powder that is as temp stable as Varget?

    Hey OP, Alliant pricing is bat shit crazy these days, forget AR comp! Guys mentioning XBR are crazy too, it’s unobtanium and faster than Varget. Staball Match is THE answer to your question.

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    Definitely an issue! They should replace that barrel. Having the gas port cut entirely through a land is a big no no! WOA recently replaced one of my 223 Wylde barrels because of it (wouldn't group smaller than 1.5" no matter the load).

    H4895 production.

    I read an article a while back that said ADI in Australia was dedicating production to H4350, Varget and I think H1000. The “other” powders they make would only be made every so often (H322, H4895 & XBR8208)… so those last three will only show up every once in a while, which is a shame.

    Is there any ball powder that is as temp stable as Varget?

    Staball Match is almost a dead ringer for Varget for charge weights and temp stability & performance. It’s a really good powder and is a little cheaper than Varget.

    Tidbits About Bullet Seating - Mandrels, Neck Lube, etc.

    Based off your other thread, I loaded up a series of test loads with some of my better 77 grain loads in 223. Did a 10x set with neck lube (Redding graphite) and 10x without… all the brass had been annealed, resized, trimmed, mandrel expanded, flash hole deburred…etc. This brass had been...

    Rangefinder binocs for low light with firing solution capable

    I almost had myself talked into the 10X50's a few months back, but decided it would be more practical for me to get a ballistic rangefinder and a nice set of binos. I'm glad I never saw them locally, as I'm sure I'd have bought them once I looked through them.

    Best handheld rangefinder with AB

    The 4000 GB has On-Board compass, humidity, barometric pressure, and exposed temperature sensors… other than reading wind speed, why would you need a Kestrel? Wind speed & direction at the shooter isn’t always what’s going on down range where it matters, so there is a ton of “field estimation”...

    Best handheld rangefinder with AB

    How is AB superior to GB? If I have zero intentions of buying a Kestrel, does it even matter?

    Best handheld rangefinder with AB

    I’ve got a 4000 GB on order, supposedly it also links up to Kestrels.

    Need some suggestions on 6.5CM accuracy loads - AR Proof CF barrel

    This barrel & cartridge combo is hands down the easiest I’ve ever messed with when it comes to load development. It’s not picky at all, but maybe it’s just 6.5CM is super forgiving. I dunno…

    Need some suggestions on 6.5CM accuracy loads - AR Proof CF barrel

    Mine wound up loving 147 ELDM and Lapua Scenar-L 136… but then again, it likes almost everything! ;)

    Load development on virgin brass

    I think it can be worthwhile to do load development on virgin brass assuming that you are setting the neck tension to the same as you would when normally resizing. I use Sinclair mandrels on all new brass. Seems like a waste of time and resources to just blast away for fire forming when you...

    new to AR -15 reloading

    Agree. I got a set of 6.5CM dies from them last spring and the resizing die had to be sent back b/c of the same issues. Their QC has gone down immensely. I'd go with Hornady or Forster and get a micrometer seating die.
