I guess everyone should have asked what powders do you have on hand?

Also helps teach responsibility and honesty. Two things that are lacking nowadays. If you cheat a kid they’ll remember that forever.

Ahhh yes, how nice it is for the consumer to do all the R&D work for these companies without compensation.

What I find interesting is how some rounds/loads will drop velocity at a certain length and then pick back up an inch later. And don’t say barrel drag because it shouldn’t return at the next longer length. It’s either mis-data or maybe harmonics or the moon’s gravity.

Here ya go. You can compare many lengths. http://ballisticsbytheinch.com/9luger.html

I don’t care if it’s an afternoon outlaw fun shoot or a professional match, it should be run by the same rules. The way I see it if one or two people go on from a “fun” shoot to an actual competition they’ll be familiar with the routine. Let’s call it a training session.

Like 4nt20 I kept having a bad sticking problem on my Lee dippers when I used them. I had a pound of e3 close by and just tossed it inside, shook it around and problem solved. It will re-stick wherever you touch it though. It even keeps Tightwad from sticking and that stuff’s the worst.

@-JCN- If the regular Simple Green works that well maybe the Extreme would do better. I found that the EX holds more contaminants in suspension better than most cleaners. It also has no odor. I used Super Clean on a lot of stuff but it’s a little iffy with aluminum. The SG EX is safe for that. The carbon off works but is fairly irritating to the skin and doesn’t play well with plastic. I do the same in my sonic cleaner with jars with carb parts. Keeps from stinking up the cleaners pan.

I know it’s crazy obvious but is there power at the outlet?

Looking good! I like your idea of making those old cracked cases work.

Did it go home with you?

I wonder how this would work? I have only tried it on a sheet pan and it worked great. They also make it in a liquid. Haven’t tested it on bluing though.

I’d just do it myself. Maybe after a few others see how much easier it is to see it may catch on. Either that or they’ll all want you to go first.

Around 11/4/23 I bought an 8 pounder for $280 so $60 increase in 5 months.

That’s similar to what I’ve found also. Can use about .2 less for similar fps which equals about 50 more rounds per lb. I also noticed it’s a tad cleaner than 231 at the lower loadings but will still get sooty if you really lug it. It was one of the only powders that worked well with a 90g Sierra JHP in my 327 FM. Good vel with excellent accuracy.
