Yep, definitely not using it.
I never use open powder from an unknown source.
Cheers guys, hard lesson for my mate, he payed big $$$ for half a tub.
Loading some bombs for a mate, he supplied me with some RL17 that he brought of TM.
When I put the powder in my auto charge I noticed differently coloured pieces of powder in amongst it.
I looked...
Does anybody know what projectile this is?
I’m running his 69g in .223 can someone please give me a link to his BC fit this.
Cheers.
Sorry, just checked back on here. Did you get sorted mate?
How many have you got to do?
I’ve got an AMP machine that I could do them for you, they need to be the same make brass and you will need to sacrifice one.
I’m in Whakatane but travel through Taupo...
Ha ha Andy, you know I have issues!
Still a staunch NF supporter though and happy enough with my FFP but also very comfortable with all my SFP Nightforce gear. Horses for courses I guess.
I have a nx8 and would happily change to a SFP version.
I’ve got some 225 eldm if you want to have a play.
I’ve got some cci you can have mate, I’ll probably never use them.

69 targex or 65sgk
I’m running a near too. Pity it’s not mulled for top loading like buzz’s, might have to wait until he is looking the other way!
cameronjackwhite nice! Was that with RL23?
I’m still waiting on my new chrony before I can continue.
dannyb out of interest mate, what chronograph are you using mate?
Ha ha, that’s funny, settled weather, good luck!
Keen to see results though.
Following with interest mate. Please post results. I’ll be trying this when my labradar shows up next week.
cameronjackwhite tried some 175 eldx up to 59.0 of 2213sc at 2780 didn’t group as well as the 162 eldm with 59.5 at 2850 but still not showing pressure in either, have loaded some more of both 162...
Thanks for all the info guys. Will lube my necks a bit better and look at minimal sizing, I’ll need to measure headspace.
Just found a fired one, measured, sized and measured again, it grew 20 thou!
I might invest in a bushing die.
FYI I set my trimmer at 2.5250
I recently brought some peterson 280ai brass, it was all very uniform and all measured at 2.5190 or there abouts before firing.
I just deprimed and amp annealed and then sized with a Redding full...
cameronjackwhite yep i was going to try that with the 162, but if the rifle likes the 175 I might need to try a different powder.
And it’s a 26” tube not 24!
