    I believe the $100 limit is gone but I will research further when I have time. It will take a while for these changes to kick in but the rule appears to be finalized so it's happening.

    This is completely irrelevant - chocolate chip cookies have 8 times more energy than TNT and 15 times more than BP. Try replacing the petrol in your engine with black powder and igniting it. It...

    zimmer liked post by Woody On thread : 4831 powder
    The reloading manuals I have used all say that while they are similar, they are not to be regarded as interchangeable. Anyway, I think the best use for very okd powder is as lawn fertilizer.

    Yes the downside of the forster is its manual / unknown adjustment, probably best set and forget. I turned a bunch of Mil surp .308 brass down for a 260 Rem, it was good on that, and adjusting a lot...
