    Has anyone played with the midwest powders 435? They claim it's similar to 8208xbr. Not finding anything about this stuff so figured I'd see if anyone has gotten hands on with it or not. https://americanreloading.com/reloading-rifle-powder/4784-mp-435-smokeless-rifle-powder-8-lbs.html

    .223ai, 260 rem, or .308? budget build.

    Ive been slowly collecting money for my first long range gun. I've had my eyes set on a .223ai from a cost standpoint but starting to second guess myself and thinking simplicity or better ballistics may provail. I already load and have brass, bullets for .308, also have .223 brass but no ai die...

    caliber/weapon consolidation advice.

    Not sure if this is the appropriate sub forum for this question so please bare with me. A few years ago I sold a lot of guns between a loss of a job and I went overboard on the #of calibers I owned. I consolidated to a 5 caliber system (22lr, 9mm, 38spl, .308, 12gauge) this has been working...

    208gr a-max question.

    was about to start load development on my 16" .308 this weekend but been reading about the 208gr A-max R17 combo and it really is shifting my focus. I was planning on a 155gr A-max as my "long range" load untill I ran the numbers on the 208. it looks like if I can push it at least 2400 it will...

    With how the economy is going and based off what I have laying around I've come to the idea of making a cheap practice rifle/ future deer rifle for my son's. I want to build a .223 based wildcat in 6, 6.5, or 7mm. I have at least 500 once fired commercial win cases as well as thousands of LC...

    anyone use faster powders for 223/5.56 pistol/sbr?

    I'm in the process of building a 7.5" ar pistol (barrel on back order) and this will be for a plinking/trunk gun. I'm not to worried about plinking ammo but I would like to load up a defense load to maximize the lack of barrel length. I've been playing around with quickload and I've found that...
