You’ve GOT to be running out of salt, soon.
My local BPS has three powders on the shelf: IMR 4350, Lil’ Gun, and Ramshot Competition. At least the IMR 4350 is “only” $50/lb.Maybe bps inventory is more realistic View attachment 1126672
Imr being vhitavori price is not making me happy. Why drink coke when Dr pepper is the same price.My local BPS has three powders on the shelf: IMR 4350, Lil’ Gun, and Ramshot Competition. At least the IMR 4350 is “only” $50/lb.
I believe there were a few loads that used slower powders that weren't economical or practical in a 4 inch revolver, because they really only gave you increased blast, recoil for hardly any increase in velocity.
Kind of like using enforcer in 45acp. You use 2x to 3x more enforcer compared to typical 45acp power and you get cataclysmic blast out of a 5 inch barrel and intense recoil even in a steel on steel 1911a1 for about +100fps. Put those enforcer loads in a carbine and they will send a 230gr bullet supersonic.
More like canned tuna versus surstromming. I prefer Chicken of the Sea, personally.Imr being vhitavori price is not making me happy. Why drink coke when Dr pepper is the same price.
It hadn’t occurred to me but, yeah, it should work just fine. Lil’Gun is another powder designed for .410 shotgun that’s been a good handgun crossover powder. Probably a good idea to retry it out considering the versatility of the powder.This might be another place where lil gun shines. Higher velocity with lower pressure. The heat doesn't matter in a hunting situation of one maybe two shots.
That's what it's supposed to look like right. Only one box of cheddite 209 primers.I could go broke there.
That’s his personal stash.I could go broke there.
I was buying n135 there 9 months ago because it was the only medium rate rifle powder available. It has definitely bounced back.That’s his personal stash.
You can restore your powder supply now if you desire. Powder valley has had 8s of a lot of good powders. Bite the bullet once and be done. 16lbs of tac, an 8 of varget and 4831 and your rifle days can be solved for a while. I think max is 32 lbs per order. I prioritize tac because of its usefulness and price.Some one that has more powder than me.
I'm dumb, I would buy a keg of powder and 1 or 2 bricks of primers in the before times.
Old habits die hard. Used to believe that primers would go bad if not turned into loaded ammo. I have known better for a long time, but didn't change my ways.
16lbs of tac
Is that loading beyond standard Sammi limits for 45c in print from winchester, or are we doing it because one hasn't blown up yet? I was wondering where the magnum powder selection was coming from and now I understand. I have a henry and I'm not doing it until I see print.It appears the Winchester 94AE is capable of handling the Ruger only loads. I have loaded a near-max charge of Accurate #11FS (a flash suppressed version of 296/H110) and it pushed a 250gr XTP to 1770 FPS in my Henry Big Boy X. Their starting load for that recipe should get you closer to 1500.
Yeah, sadly, you will likely never see it in print from the manufacturer. Winchester used to tell you if you called support that you could load their 94AE in 45 Colt to 44 Mag pressures (they did me 15 or 20 years ago or so), but I don't think they will anymore. Henry wouldn't answer the question at all, even though I can tell you the Henry X in 45 Colt and 44 Mag are identical guns, and the Henry easily handles ruger only loads...but why would you take me for my word? It's your gun, you accept or reject the risk on your terms, not because "some guy on the internet" said it was ok. I mean, we all know the "rules" for Tier Loads, but it's up to each individual to decide if they want to pursue it. Never forget, today Keith would have been kicked off THR for the loads he shared...Is that loading beyond standard Sammi limits for 45c in print from winchester, or are we doing it because one hasn't blown up yet?

I am very fortunate to have received an inventory of rifles I can put into action for different tasks. I won't try and make a 357 do what a 30-30 does better. If I need more range change to 308. I don't have anything more capable at range than that so I've been eyeballing a 280. 45c is a gun remade for cowboy action shooting for fun. It's not a modern capable cartridge like a 454 casual. I really want a big horn but I don't have one. The knowledge of one's firearm to exceed listed listed loads is kinda a gate keeper to prevent the unknowledgeable on the reservation. If you talked to winchester about your gun I would never question your actions. Did the op talk to winchester about his model of gun and were any changes made that could effect it, I have no idea. Point being I don't intentionally challenge people to push boundaries and if they are I think they should be doing it based on information they have.Yeah, sadly, you will likely never see it in print from the manufacturer.

If I really want a .45 lever gun for past 100yds and with big knockdown I will break out the Marlin 95 .45-70. If I want a 250yd “38” I bring out the .35 Whelen. If I want more than a .35Rem but not quite the Whelen then the BLR in .358 Win is a good choice.I am very fortunate to have received an inventory of rifles I can put into action for different tasks.

But pushing a gun that can’t be replaced? Nah.
