Has any body tried this powder at all, ran some in my 300 wm same thing pressure spikes bad es before usable velocity.

Noticed a big difference in the kernel sizes too and the fact they wernt evenly dispenced from the chargemaster, bigger ones 5mm + sticking a bit in tube then a few would drop together, so you had 2 consec drops 1 with lot more of the v small kernels 1 with the bigger ones, would this effect the burning speed, creating the speed jump and pressure spike - its bound to have an effect on case fill levels too.

Anybody tried this in their 284 with 180 g bullets, i found it closer to 4350 than 4831 which its supposed to duplicate, got pressure signs early too.

Pm d you earlier

Sent you a pm

Done & shared

I hear theres going to be opposition from the retreat centre up there, as there will be 3 ranges within earshot.

Difficult to give you an exact weight without knowing, your brass make & oal, but weve found a full case, just before the bullet compresses the powder charge produced the best es and accuracy with 69 - 80 g  bullets. Never saw any pressure signs in various actions.

Thanks for the replies,  will pass them on, shifted mine

Couple of us got joypods this year, primarily for f class , weve found you continually have to ajust the leg height, then as a result the cant, av every 5 or6 shots even when shooting of a well positioned mat, a very labour intensive job, there dosnt seem to be enough internal ajustment, the flat bottomed stocks dont help eithor. Weve gone back to the teir 1 s.  Joypods work ok of the bench  but then rests are better. Has anyone else found this.

The 44 s and most pistol calibres would do without the gas checks  unless really pushing them hard,  ive stopped using them altogether because theve gotten expensive, i just cast them a little harder, dont run them as fast, you could nearly buy a fmj for the price of a checked cast.

I lube with allox and canuba car wax mixed 50/50, tumbled.

Henry crank used to carry a large range of gas checks.

Anybody have or used one of these or if there available retail yet.

Switched to RS 50 in mine

Pm d you

Sure John Carr would

We have several of these actions,  and  john carr was our first call , unfortunatly john no longer works with stainless steel, though we have various moa of his aluminium rails, it was stainless we were after.

Just back from 2 great days at mark gardners 2 mile range, running out of elevation at 1800 yrds is there any one in the uk could make me a 40 moa rail for a john carr action, its the same as a short action borden i think

Did you check out the prices for the new redding comp dies phew we paid £400 including 2 bushings, then got a mint full length bushing die £50. I think the match bushing sets run about £250 without any bushings
