[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2094363, member: 115658"] We, sadly, have started to ration our modest stocks of components. Before we happily shot up to 150 rounds of centerfire per week, now we are down to 35-50. A big challenge is to find combinations that work, as the tried and proven combinations are not available. I recently bought 4.4 pounds of Vectan 8000 at Graf's and have started using it with .22-.250 75's, .243W 105's, 6.5-06 123's & 140's - V8000 should be good for .280 & .300W. Good record keeping is a must with keeping targets, notes, and recording data on spread sheets. Primers are counted by each piece vs. 100's. Happily, I discovered a good sized stash of .45 Auto stuff so the 1911 is going to be used, small powder charges help. We have lots of .22LR left over from the last shortage. New load data is always appreciated. It's those primers :( [/QUOTE]
