    favorite powder for 45-70 modern loads?

    When the guy did all the trials with the low velocity loads the powders he were not bothered by position sensitivity. It something to do with powders and how they ignited. Read the site don't just start loading. You will have a better understanding of the science behind it. So try it or don't.

    There are no fillers. If you follow his loads and don't deviate you will not have any problems. I looked the loads for the 400gr bullets he recommend the W231 so I started with the lowest load. 11grs gave me a 1" group at 50 yards.

    Rocky or Danner

    I had Danners slipped and fell ever time I wore them. They also leaked from day one. A year ago I bought a pair of Lowas made in Germany. No leaks and no more slipping.

    Can anyone spare two 7 SAUM cases and/or two 175 ELD-X?

    I have a full box of the 175ELDX's. I bought them then decided I not to use them because they need at least a 8.5 twist. I would be willing to let them go. PM me

    Bad Barrel?

    I was cleaning my Dad's 52 year old Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. I have just received my order of 166 shock Hammers and wanted to get all the copper out. So I grabbed my bore scope and the picture tells all. I scanned the rest of the barrel and everything looks good. Should I continue or not?

    .308 166 shock hammers

    Thanks for the help. I took zr600 advice and called Hammer seems like the H4350 is the way to go. Ben

    .308 166 shock hammers

    I just drew a Arizona rifle elk tag. I want to use my Dad's 30-06. I got the rifle many years ago after he passed away and I never hunted with it. Just ordered a box of 166 shock hammers, but I can't find what powder to use. I have H4350, Varget, Big Game, REL 17. Any ideas what powder would be...
