My 8pd. jug of 4955 contains that line, on the front. I bought mine as a replacement for H4831, as a candidate for my upcoming .25WSSM with bullets heavier than 120gn.

IF you have a carbide sizing die, you won't need to lube them at all, just be sure theyr'e visibly clean.. I LOVE nickled pistol-caliber cases!!!!

Hmm...$4 per primer is rather expensive.

I've certainly retrieved many primers I've dropped on the floor, but if I can't see it, using a flashlite, from my chair, it stays on the floor until I stumble into it a day or three later. :)

I understand the Reminton factory in Arkansas has recently--within a month or 2--restarted production.

Hello from another 77-year-old.. My main ailments are arthritis in my right hand and a replaced right shoulder joint that has broken and will be rereplaced this summer.. But I wake each morning, feeling, generally, quite good and thank God that I and my loving wife are still going relatively...

HS-6 is an EXCELLENT, LOW-MUZZLE-flash powder for the Big 10. I regret that you have none.

First, I've enjoyed seeing all those firearms; TYVM boys and girls. I've been a gun guy for maybe 60 years but never a collector of anything that goes BANG! My most-interesting (IMO) current firearm is a UBR/MSR that looks a bit like an AR-15... ...but has a manual-turnbolt action. It's a...

I now have a Uintah UP-15 and really like it... https://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/my-little-story-of-reloading-the-6mm-arc.4020030/page-2 ...but I'm sort of busy with my big rifle... https://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/my-third-reloading-story-this-time-in-caliber-6xc.4028655...

That's a beauty; congrats.. I had three Glock 10s but they wore out my hand with their big, squarish grips and rough surfaces.. Eventually bought a Tanfoglio Witness Polymer... ...that felt great in my hand--notice the forward indentation below the beavertail.. The full-power factory loads...

Here's a method of checking calibration of an electronic scale that works EXCELLENTLY for me because it's EASY to do and also because I'm fussy about these things.. Buy (Amazon?) an inexpensive set of calibraton weights and be use the set includes a 2-GRAM weight.. A 2gm. weight weighs 30.865...

...uhh...what a 'calf?

Do understand that in the desert, and that's about half the state, we have six months of summer--mid-April thru mid-October--and six months of nonsummer. And IMO, you heed to get to at least 6000' elevation NOT to be hot in the summer.

...and in excellent condition.. Inspected and lubed it, remounted the scope rail with threadlocker, installed my NightForce 12-42X56 scope and a bipod, removed the muzzle brake, and here it is. I have a Zeiss V6 5-30X50 scope coming; sometimes the NightForce at its shortest is a bit too long...

Hodgdon doesn't list any StaBALL6.5 loads for the 280 in their 2020 manual; I suspect SB6.5's burning rate isn't quite right for the 280.. They do use Superformance with 120- and 140g. bullets, and it achieves the highest velocities.
