I had placed a request with him ages ago for Red Dot.
Today brought home 24 pounds
$444 and now home.
That comes to $18.50 per pound including taxes and freight
Rejoice with me !!

Excellent news skeetx. A week or two ago my father brought an 8lb jug of H335 from a friend who owns the local indoor range when the friend was cleaning out his garage for $100. I am still not sure what it is used for but I know I can't use it for shotguns. Hopefully it is for something I like to shoot since he reloads rifle ammo for me. |

H335 is a medium burning rate powder
It can be used for many rifle cartridges from 222 Rem to 8mm Mauser. and even up to 458 Win Mag
In burn rate near 4895 and BL-C, in other words a very useful powder
It is spherical and meters well but may require a magnum primer in some instances.

bbrown
Not 6 months, but double that, 1 year
24 pounds x 7000 grains = 168,000 grains
200 shells a week x 17 grains = 3,400
168,000 divided by 3,400 = about 50 weeks or about 1 years shooting.
Kinda scary isn't it

That price works out to close to $150 per 8 lb can. I guess I'll keep buying Promo.

That many pounds of Red Dot?? Prima Facia case against you for using one of those INFIDEL guns; (otherwise it would have been a powder more suited to God's Gauge). |

He he he,
I shoot with 10, 12, 16, 20, 28 and 410 normally
Occassionally I will shoot the 24 and 32 gauge guns, rarely.
The 16 all have to wait their turn.
but within the last several weeks I have shot the
Leige 16 O/U
Citori 16 O/U
Win 12 pump
A-5 3 Shot
Standing in line are many more yelling out in German, Belguim, Russian, and other languages
Mike
p.s. fun reading

Good for you Skeettx!!! We need more open minded shooters in this world, particularly when involving Europe and other similarly close minded societies. Do you respond to the complaints in the language sent? But there is one thing I still don't understand, How could someone as obviously open minded as you ever hold a job as an officer in the military? |
