You need to state what brand as they are not interchangeable.

The prevailing method is to load sprue up. But, at SASS distances it isn’t going to matter. Again, I recommend Mike Beliveau’s videos. He digs into all of this.

Yes, Cholla, you are most correct. I use CCI 34 primers in my M1’s and M1A to minimize a slam fire. Fortunately I have a decent supply of 34’s, but can ways stock away more since the 45LC ammo is excess to my needs.
Regards, Capt’n Rudy (Coast Guard Expert Rifle Medal 1971, with an M1)Very cool. I received my USCG Expert Rifle medal in 1979 using the M16. The only folks with M1s at that time were the drill team. I shuddered each time they dropped one or slammed the but to the ground!
-
Just an FYI, CCI 34 military grade primers are recommended for M1 Garands to reduce the chance of slam fires. Why a M1 or M1 A would require hardened primers but a Remington 742 wouldn’t is beyond my knowledge base.

I recommend contacting Rock Island or Julia as they have the buyers with deep pockets. Reata Pass could also get some folks with lots of folding money.

Make sure you have a krag, check out the AZ rangers Morenci Stike photo.
Hopefully CM will be bringing one for me.

Are you hazmat-certified with FedEx or UPS? If not, you can't ship them, period. It would have to be a FTF transaction.

It appears the website is gone but as we keep saying, if they ask for cash apps and don’t take a credit card, it’s a scam.

I don’t think 50 is good. Anything over 20 is considered bad in long range smokeless. My latest 45-70 testing was 7.

I am working on an article about the Arizona Rangers. I need to find an original Winchester 1895 in 30-40 Krag to photograph.
If you are attending EOT or live near Prescott, and have an original I can photograph, please let me know.

Wonder if the NRA was there?
They had a booth. I did not go by it to verify they were in it. I suspect they were, unlike Colt two years ago.

Was anything said about Clays or Universal?
Not that I remember. He mentioned a few by name and I was waiting to hear those I have been waiting for. I have Clays so it didn't click in my brain if he said it.

Well that's bloody good news, I hope this isn't scuttlebutt!!!!
Here's a list of Aussie made powders that are marketed in the U.S under the right hand column -
Trailboss - Trailboss
AS30N - Clays
AS50N - International
AP70N - Universal
AP100 - IMR SR4756?
AR2205 - H4227
AR2207 - IMR4198
AR2219 - H322
Benchmark 2 - Benchmark
BM8208 - IMR8208XBR
AR2206H - H4895
AR2208 - Varget
AR2209 - H4350
AR2213SC - H4831
AR2217 - H1000
AR2225 - Retumbo
AR2218 - H50BMG
AR2210 - H322He wore a suit and looked like he was important, so I hope he is correct. They have security at the Shot Show, so I assume he wasn't a well-dressed homeless bum looking for free food! Jack-Link was one of the booths with free jerky, so you never know! He did mention Varget as well, so fingers crossed.

id like to know why trailboss has more steps and is more costly than any other powder , im not a chemist so i wont even pretend to understand these processes but i would like someone to explain them ,
I listen to Hornady podcasts (a lot) and the way they explain the process of making powders, sounds very involved. Some powders are hollow inside to provide better ignition. Some powders have a flame-retardant coating to slow the ignition. Some powders need to be flattened to expose more surface for ignition. While he didn't explain the extra steps, he did say there was a great deal of more labor involved. His example was it would take selling five containers of Trail Boss to make the same profit as one container of Retumbo. If I were a business owner, making Trail Boss would be the last on my list, especially when the market is gobbling up powder as fast as it is made. I bought two pounds of Reloder 26 at $52 per pound because I need it for a new rifle I am getting, and I have been waiting years to see it. I bought a pound of Retumbo at almost the same price for the same reason. I wanted some CFE-223 and my LGS had it at $39.99 so I bought two because no one else had it in my area.
