Found a new interesting powder that I really like. It is Rex-0 from Hungary. It is a dull gray flake powder that works very well for both .45 and .40 cal. As a chemist I love to tinker with my loads but I pretty much have stopped tinkering once I started using this stuff. It is clean and accurate and a little goes a very long way. I use 3.6 gr in my 230 gr lead round noses to make major PF . It works well behing a 147 Berry Plated in my son's CZ as well but he still prefers 4756. Rex-0 is sold in 1kilo cans and I have been loading all year out of the same can that I bought in Lubbock at an IDPA regional. I tried Rex-0 with some 185gr RNHB Berry plated but I got a lot of debris peppering me. Recoil on the 230 loads is soft.

AA2 has given me very consistant velocities in my Kimber L10 gun at both 230 and 200 gr. weights.

A great write up on the junior camp. My son was the younger Jakob from Texas and he had a blast at the camp. I drove him up to Shreeveport but did not do the bunk dad thing. Wish that I had now. Kay invited to come back for the Sat. morning match with the kids and the wife and I left early to make it on time. That was a great deal of fun and I was glad that I got to shoot with them. I have not seen the match scores but I think that I had my hat handed to me by several of the youngsters and I could see that Jake had learned a lot in that week. The best thing about the camp my my point of view is that while Jake learned a lot there he also got to spend a week with kids his own age who shared his passion about shooting. Nemo was not kidding about how much they could eat. They had the pizza devoured in short order Sat. afternoon. Hats off to the bunk dads who put up with the smell of the great unwashed for so long and thanks to Ken at Area 4 for helping to fund two young shooters for camp this year. Plus my son presented me with a huge bag of shiny silver .45 cases Darrell Daude
