    Welcome from Austin. Glad you have hunting options here. Mine are few here but make up for it chasing elk in the Colorado wilderness DIY.

    New powders looking promising!

    How does it compare to H1000? Nice to see H1000 showing back up.

    Powder Choices for 300 RUM

    I'm seeing H1000 pop up on Midsouth regularly now. Just picked up a couple lbs. Shootingbot sends daily notices of its being available somewhere.

    Check out Big Agnes system. Mine has big toe box. Super warm down to 0 last year at 10k. Good price.

    Good road trip books

    I've got the long road trip to Colorado coming up and am looking for a couple good hunting books to listen to on Audible. I've heard there are many great old storytellers out there. Got any good ones?

    Decapping rod broken

    I was full length resizing and decapping my 300WM Nosler brass using RCBS die with a 83 stamped on it. I must have been careless keeping a cartridge in line and the decapping rod got broken off. The question is I have the RCBS dies for 30-06 and am wondering if the decapping rod is...

    H1000 Alternative

    Austin Tx. Thank you anyway. Got nothing to trade. I failed to stock up when the stores were full. I hope it gets better this summer. Many good options in this discussion.

    H1000 Alternative

    Thanks for the advice! I have one lb of Retumbo. Might try a few of those first. Still want 3000 fps. Hunt 10-11,500 ft mostly, 2nd season which is moved back to November this year. Train in Texas heat then head to high country so stability is good.

    H1000 Alternative

    I've been watching this forum for a while, novice reloader, shot first bull in Colorado last year with XBolt 300WM. Reload with H1000, Nosler brass, 180 AB, 215 primers. Can't find H1000 so wondering which other powders are about the same to start a new load?
