Anyone here into firearms?

I scored 2 lbs of Hodgson H1000 powder today.

Local gun shop just powder in yesterday.

Reloading 100 rounds of 338 LM takes about 1.25 lbs of powder.

I prefer single stage triggers but have nothing against 2 stage triggers.
Got a Wilson Combat TTU 4lb single stage in one of my ARs. I like it a lot.
Also have Geissele Super Sabras with the Lightning Bow trigger in my Tavors. Gives my Tavors a pretty solid 2 stage feel even though they are bullpups.

At least it isn’t the trigger Sig has in the Cross.

Dang those are some thirsty rounds.

At least you were able to find some powder.

Roughly 90 gr of powder for a Hornady 285 match bullet.

If you can reload my hunting rounds I’d be real cool with that.

Not much. Just the spent casing.

This is what I use.

308? I have 100 rounds of 308 sitting on the shelve right now. Fresh never shot Lapau brass, Sierra 175gr Match bullets, with CCI primers, loaded with 47.0 gr of IMR 4350. The cases are fully prepped with the flash hole uniformed, primer pockets cut, the the necks turned. Distance friend wanted it, and we agreed on the price I bought everything and loaded it. The friend ghosted me.

So it's been here sitting. The brass alone is $85.00.

For 308 bullets sitting on the shelve.
Nosler 165 Acccubond
Sierra 150 BT Spitzer
Sierra 165 BT Spitzer
Sierra 175 Match

My solvent trap from Form 1 Builder came today.

It's 1.75"x10". I got it with a 1/2" and 5/8" threaded end caps so that I can use it on .22 up to .30 cal.
