We had a stage last weekend Nevada sweep starting in the middle. Loved it.

I’ll fix you up! Working on your other projects now. I’ll include them unless you need them sooner.
When the others are finished would be fine. Let me know before you send anything as I want to be home if you ship them. We are going to Kansas and then Oklahoma state.

I bought some from a shooter who was getting done with shooting. It works fine and seems to be a very nice powder. I would buy more if I had the chance.

I use Red Dot, Imr red, 700X, Alliant X-lite. All around 12.9 to 13.2 grains with 3/4 oz shot.
All seem to be very close to 980's.

The main springs from Taylors are not as heavy as OEM and you have to do little if any spring reduction to make them serviceable. I bought the extra length fp's for our rifles.

That, right there, says more than I can put into words.

I go to the local (65 miles away) exchange once in a while and there prices are usual higher than what I can buy stuff elsewhere for.

The shorter the barrel the less time it will have to rise. In one of the rifles I have a 205g bullet moving at 2500 fps will be 18" high at 100 yds, compared to a 147g bullet moving at 2900 fps. So yes, how much difference depends on barrel length, velocity etc.

My Mernicle rig was built for NM Vaqueros. I use it for Uberti, Pietta, NMV and old model Vaqueros. I had to use a little holster lube for the OMV's but every thing else works fine.

Several things you can check. The bolt face-make sure it has not become peened by many primers being hit, it may be that the fp hole is closed a little. Firing pin channel- clean it with a good cleaner and a pipe cleaner. Also check the fp spring it may be a little stronger than needed. Mainspring may be weak from years of use. Check the hammer to make sure crud is not between it and the frame. FP extension- make sure it is clean as well as the channel it runs in. Check to make sure your primary main spring screw is tight. ALL of these parts have to be free of crud and properly lubed in order for that little primer to go bang.

I have been using Schuetzen for many years now. As others have reported it tends to burn a little bit cleaner than Goex. I believe this is because Schuetzen uses a better grade of charcoal than Goex. I used to use FFg in shotgun and 45-70, and FFFg in 45 Colt and 44-40. These days I use FFg in everything, just to keep things simple. Expect to get somewhere between 60 fps to 100 fps less velocity with FFg than FFFg, all other things (like how much you use) being equal.
As others have said, just fill up the case and compress it a little bit, I like to compress between 1/16" - 1/8". You will never notice much velocity difference in CAS. Long range, precision 45-70 is a different story.
I made up this handy chart years ago. It shows the actual weight of various powders I have used over the years with the standard volumes in Cubic Centimeters that I use most often in cartridges. 2.2CC is what I use in 45 Colt and 44-40. Note that 2.2CC of Elephant FFg (no longer available) weighed significantly more than 2.2CC of Scheutzen.
Again, just pour in enough so that it is compressed by the bullet by about 1/16" - 1/8" and don't worry about the velocity.
Just a guess but the Elephant probably weighs more than the Schuetzen because of the fines in it. When I shot a lot of long range ML we used to sock the powder to get rid of the fines. Also made it shoot a lot cleaner.

PS good to hear from you Driftwood.

Bad Primers
in SASS Wire

I've had some misfires with Rem primers and discovered that they are a little harder to seat with a 550. I checked and had about 10% with primers not seated all the way. I talked with another shooter that used Rem primers and he had the same problem.
