    Greetings, Those scopes look pretty basic compared with what is available today. There is no doubt that there is a lot of flash kit available now that was not 12 years ago but how much of it fills...

    Greetings, I think that data is for the .222 Rem Mag and not the .222 Rem. ADI shows a max load of 19.5 grains of AR2207 for 3,017 fps at 45,300 CUP for the .222 Rem. Regards Grandpamac.

    Greetings, The case is marked 7.62 and it appears to be the right length (or thereabouts) but it is also likely military. Additional to the possibility of a Berdan primer the military cases are much...

    Greetings, Yes it is. IMR4064 was originally made by Dupont in the US from about the 1920's and was the go to powder for the .270 for a while until IMR4350 came out. AR2208 has been made by Mulwex,...

    Greetings blip, Good point about a new barrel. Those Mohawks are getting a bit long in the tooth for a barrel burner like the .243. On the powders you first mentioned all should be fine with IMR4064...
