Now that redefines going out in a blaze of glory!!!I think I'm going to have them torch of my powder at my funeral
I found out last month a small company in Arkansas has built a primer plant and is testing them currently. https://www.dmholding.com/

Here's hoping your wrong about that and have many spent casings still before you!I just sold 10 lbs of rl 26. I am getting to old to use it all
Even worse than the powder everyone likes are the powders that are DISCONTINUED!!!
On a whim I grabbed an unopened, still sealed tin can of the very long discontinued H570 on auction for a crazy low price. I'm afraid to use it. Not because it might be degraded or deteriorated but because….what if I fall in love!!!!?????
. With something that hasn't been made in many decades. By the way, the side of this tin of H570 has written in pencil on the side
"Big Chief - May 1, 1964"
I just sold 10 lbs of rl 26. I am getting to old to use it allI don't care either way tbh.
Theyre both on the list of powders I've decided not to bother trying and don't need. Overrated. I'm sure they are great but just…people lose their dang minds about them and the prices are nuts and then you see what people pay for them on auctions and such and you know what…THEY CAN KEEP IT!
H1000
Retumbo
Rl26
Varget
I think that's my list for now. I will admit, if I stumbled upon rl26 "in the wild" I would jump on it but I'm not actively trying to find or obtain it. Just too mental.
I know they may be a tad more temp sensitive (though not bad at all in my opinion and experience) - but I think right now I'm happy to just stick with what's working for me Regarding the slow burners which is "old reliable" imr 7828 ssc and rl25 and superformance (which in my experience is way slower than they say it is, but being a progressive burn rate double base it's hard to pin its behaviour down regardless) all three have been easier to obtain than retumbo or h1000, to say nothing of rl26, for me, especially off auctions or buying from private individuals, and they don't command quite as obscenely ridiculous a price. I like 'em. Though superformance doesn't smell good after it's been fired
I forget what burn rate varget is exactly but either way, for that medium-fast ballpark I've come to quite appreciate h380, leverevolution, and of course the mainstay h4350 for a bit slower rate and another old reliable, imr 4064 (which has produced some of the finest accuracy I've ever obtained in a few cartridges) on the faster end. I don't need varget!

2 hours North West of Brisbane. You get around, what brings you over here?
Hope you brought a suitcase full of primers!

I was bit by a dog in Gympie in 2018 (required plastic surgery at Royal Women's Brisbane Hospital) - can't be that far from you.
Ms LRNut used to live in Perth (actually Mandurah) and has friends in WA and Queensland. I am visiting our friends and then I have a business meeting meeting in Christchurch. Going hunting with a guy I hunted with back in 2003 (tahr and chamois).
Interesting, the woman who bought my wife's house in Mandurah (we are staying with her the rest of the week after tonight) has a son who immigrated to Canada and is now a big hunter and LOVES LR gong shooting with his .338 Edge. He plans on hunting deer in CO this fall at our place there.
Any chance you know Tony Baker?
