[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 124970, member: 2011"] Roy, are you close to or at full density loads with 869? There's room for a grain or two more. Powder it just touching the base of the bullet with a bit of room around the bullet for more. I'm using REM cases. There is no extraction or bolt lift resistance but the darn primer pockets seem to be loosening. how does velocity compare with other powders? Not having tested any lesser weight bullets with the 869, the 300gr SMK was the only one that achieved the anticipated velocity in my rifle. The max vel w/RL-25 & 7828 was 3000+. Same for the 250 weights (SMK, 2600s & Hornady Match) Hodgon says 101gr gets 2595 w/the SMK so with the primer slight loosening I' about at the top. can you ship me an 8 lb keg for free? Now who's humor is....... The fact is, I bought the only 1LB can in this end of the state and there is no more, yet. [/QUOTE]
