[QUOTE="jmden, post: 315855, member: 1742"] Do you know why Kesselrings is doing that? I agree, it is irritating. Do you know of anywhere 'local' where we can get 8lbs of powder? I typically have gotten my big jugs from Sportsmens Warehouse Burlington or Missoula, MT. (I may have to ask my father in law to scrounge around Missoula when I need some--no tax over there to boot.) Can't remember the name it has now--do they have any powder, or would they order powder in 8lb jugs? For that matter I haven't expressly asked Kesselrings if they would order an 8lb jug for me. I don't like dealing with 1lb jugs (even if you can get the same lot number) when you have cases taking 100g of powder or thereabouts--just go through the jugs too fast. I have a bit of the 'old', 'slow' US869 left and just opened (a month ago) a different, newer 8lb jug of it--the jug that has caused me to back off on my loads a fair amount (and lose fps)... I've loaded 60 rounds at around 103g from that new jug. There should be over 7lbs left and I may be willing to part with it at a reduced price...hint, hint, wink, wink. :) BTW, I shot a nice little muley 3 point with eyegards on the high buck hunt in the Pasayten Wilderness last week on a solo backpacking trip. I was glassing a hillside just before dark a 1000 yds away and heard suspicious noises just downslope. Grabbed my rifle and crawled 20ft to a bush and there's a nice buck just downslope. About 100yd shot. Sure glad I practice for those long shots! :rolleyes: Chopaka Mt. is pretty close to the edge of the Pasayten. Do you venture into the Pasayten? [/QUOTE]
