[QUOTE="bluejay75, post: 2138219, member: 117622"] Powder and primers are coming back. My advice to you is to use this time to prep your brass completely. I mean every single step to include deburring flash holes. Making sure that youre using the same die setting everytime for consistency for that batch and do them all in the same session. When youre done with that start looking for powders. You can use a good ball or short cut extruded. They will both run out of your measure well...unless you bought an automatic dispenser. Pick up a sleeve or two of primers and build all of your ladder or test loads. If done correctly, it may take 2-3 weeks maybe a month to work up your loads. That should buy you enough time for stocks to come back. CCI 200, Winchester LR all of them are good for general shooting and accuracy. FC and LC brass has served me well. Varget, 4064, TAC, N540, WIN748 all have served me well. If youre using ball powders, it wont hurt to stock a brick or two of Winchester LRMP (softer cup) as the ball powders will like those better. Im a hunter first and foremost and would not buy a target only bullet. I see the Tipped Matchking line as close to dual purpose as any bullet out there. The 155, 168 or 175 TMK makes a fine target and thin skinned (deer hogs) game bullet. At the moment Im finding great success with the 168 TMK and Varget. Half MOA out of factory hunting rigs with 8 or 12x max scopes. [/QUOTE]
