Brownells has Varget 8# right this moment Edit Ah missed it posted up there in the other links

I had several barrels that did not like Hornady 68gr BTHP, handloaded with two powders (Varget and RE15) to all kinds of lengths and the usual suspects of variations, nor would it shoot Black Hills factory loading of them either. 69gr SMK, 77gr SMK, and even 75gr Hornady shot fine which I...

-Whitetail deer: ~140lbs young male -Behind front shoulder, broadside/slight quartering away shot -Shot from 80yds, deer went less than 10yds dead -62gr Barnes TTSX on top of 24.4gr Reloder 15. -16” Rainier/Shilen barrel with Recce 5 suppressor, est velocity 2700fps. TA11 ACOG -Complete pass...

I almost bought a 2.5-20x a few months back but the eyebox kept giving me issues. Had to be exactly 100% perfect which, when hunting or shooting a match, isn’t guaranteed. That said, the higher the magnification on the high end could help with target ID (minimum point/antler requirements if you...

Brownells has Rem 7.5s and no powder limit https://www.brownells.com/reloading/primers/rifle-primers/rifle-primers-prod40209.aspx?avs%7cSpecial-Filters_1=In%2bStock

Wish my SW would stock some I’ve reduced my shooting by 80% because of this. I have started dry firing more and shooting about 2 rounds for practice for every one in a match now and cut back two matches a year. Used to be considerably more

These in the khaki or green color suit me well at work on 90+ days...

I’d been posting in stock Varget in the “in stock” thread but kind of stopped. I can tag you in the next one Primers are available if you’re willing to pay asking price. CCI BR2/4’s are like $160+ before shipping and hazmat most places. Even regular 200/400s are about $90+. They’re...

Brownells has Alliant Reloder TS 15.5...

Some of the SMK meplats are very jagged. Hornady tends to have a more consistent open tip but measuring to the ogive is the most accurate way (as mentioned). I load to mag length (2.260”) and use PMags which allow for a slight overage, so I know that if I get a meplat with jagged tip that...

Thanks for replying though. I want another Mk5 when those drop so I’ll keep checking

Do you know when the PR2 is going to make it into the 3.6-18 line? Thanks

I bought CCI 400 and 500 primers two weeks ago at Natchez for $85/k. They’ve gone up $10 per brick since then. Damn this market Hodgdon has 1lb Varget bottles right now https://shop.hodgdon.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-varget

It sucks but literally has not been available in 2+ years in my local shop. There isn’t another reloading supply store within 90 minutes of my location and that option is a big box store that has some .50BMG powder and little else. If it wasn’t for $50/lb Varget and $100/K primers plus Hazmat...

Varget one pounders @ hodgdon https://shop.hodgdon.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-varget

You can reprogram the Chargemaster to quick throw longer (within so many tenths of a grain to target charge weight) and trickle charge the rest. I reprogrammed mine and it’s so much faster for each charge

4064 was in stock on Hodgdons site and maybe powder valley a few days ago ($270 for 8#) and Natchez has BR2’s in stock for $155/1k. I don’t really look for Federal GMM components, mainly just CCI If there’s specific stuff you want, you’ve got to look daily almost but it IS out there

I’ve got an older one (12yo) that I’d like to keep and then upgrade to a newer one just to see. I read somewhere the newer models have better internals (unsure if true) but a second one would speed up my loading time for certain calibers

I only wish there was a slightly shorter taper mount adapter option. Probably my ONLY gripe about it, although I understand it’s for blast chamber expansion to help on shorter barrels. Most of my rifles have Griffin taper mounts of some sort so I use the adapter on the OPM, but I’d like to run...

I passed on it. Ordered a ton of primers recently and I’ve seen Varget in stock two days in a row on two sites. I’ll grab some in a couple weeks
