Powder Valley group buy

[Sprouticus]

Got the powder yesterday, and I have contacted all those in the group buy.


Loaded up some 30-06, with it this morning.

Tried out the Nosler 168 blems for the first time that I got from Shooter Pro Shop.

I had good results with 46 gr. and Hornady 168's, So I worked up some loads a few grains above and below that.

46.2 gr gave the best results.

Thanks again Doug for the training, it's really satisfying when you find the right load for a rifle.

You're most welcome.

FYI - I have another reloading student flying in this Friday from Tucson AZ. He will be staying until Sunday and specifically wants 50BMG reloading for accuracy training. He also wants to load 223 and 308 on Dillon 550B's to refresh memories as was using someone else's equipment before that was setup for him with no changes allowed.

So my teaching methods must be working and word is getting around that I teach reloading.

But are you licensed...(eye roll)

[OldmanFCSA]

Yes, but can't remember what it was for.

If you can get more, I would get a few more 8lbs jugs.

Of which powder??

IMR4064?

Wideners.com has SALES going on now for select powders??

I have 32#'s of Reloder50 coming that was $50 off regular pricing elsewhere..

[Bearcatrp]

The IMR 4064. Am good on 50BMG powder. Been looking around on line and see 8lbs of anything IMR is pretty thin out there.

Found my second 8 lb jug hiding in back of safe so don't need any. Wasn't sure if I bought a second jug when we did the purchase. Have to look for pistol powder instead.
