    Greetings, From my testing in the .308 the ADI powders, including AR2208 seemed to shoot a bit better than IMR4064 at lower pressure and AR2208 looks the best of the bunch from your results. One...

    Jhon liked post by grandpamac On thread : Powder Choice, 270 Win with 100gn Projectile
    Greetings again, The point I forgot to make is that your confidence range of loads is much wider with AR2206H than other powders. My experience with AR2206H in the .308 and .303 is that loads much...

    Jhon liked post by grandpamac On thread : Powder Choice, 270 Win with 100gn Projectile
    Greetings Jhon, If you are wanting to keep the wear and tear on the barrel down then reducing the powder charge is key. Personally I would keep away from the slow and ball powders. For flexibility...

    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...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Hodgdon /ADI BM8208 data
    Greetings zimmer, I still look very hard at chronograph reading that do not match predicted velocity and also tend to stop adding powder too soon which beats the alternative. My chronograph is a 35P...

    Greetings Jhon, The 44 WCF (later .44-40) is a very old cartridge and the chambers can be all over the place. I would be reasonably sure that your problem is an oversize section on the case where...
