    New old member

    Hello, I am new to SH while being old. I joined in 2009, read it for years, and had a good number of posts, but when the site was taken over by Scout I lost interest in the shenanigans and left. Happened to run across it again, and lo and behold, my old login is still active. Lots of new reading...

    That's not Varget! -- 6.5x47 Lapua

    I thought I had 4 8 pound jugs of Varget. Getting into the second, I dug out and opened the other box, to find it's Hodgdon Benchmark. I've been shooting 38.0 grains of Varget behind a 123 grain Scenar, quite happily. Any ideas where to start with the Benchmark? I searched online but could not...

    Vihtavuori N135 - in 6.5x47 Lapua?

    I have 2 8 pound jugs of VV N135. Anyone have experience with it in 6.5x47? The manual at at the VV site shows N135 for 108 grain Scenars but does not give any loads for 123s.

    Where to get primers? Argh!

    I've been shooting factory ammunition (FGMM) in my .308 for 8 months, saving the empty brass. I have plenty of powder, picked up here and there (Varget and Vihtavuori). I have equipment, either already on hand or easily available. And I cannot find any primers anywhere, for any price. I've been...

    What happened to the equipment forum?

    The equipment discussion forum (formerly the first forum listed) seems to have disappeared. Is this a temporary glitch? Or is it to be split into multiple different forums? Or am I hallucinating?

    Forum sponsors?

    Is there a page that lists all the SH sponsors? I poked about but could not find such. The Commercial Sales forum contains ads placed occasionally when a sponsor has some sale to announce. I was hoping for a central place where paid sponsors would be linked. Perhaps it's here and I just can't...
