poll on brass bullets and powders

[ghostwriter247]

Seeing all the what this or that questions for what to use, i thought this might be nice. I was reading the what the pros use thread on another site and figured this would certainly help out beginners. Right now I'd like to limit to ftr and if it gets good response ill do one for open classes as well. If you post up your powder, bullet, and brass type, as well as caliber I will compile the results and graph it. Ive got other threads on other boards as well so in order to not skew the results, please only post on one of the threads.

If i get enough interest Id like to broaden it to barrels actions and stocks in another thread and then maybe compile the same inof on open class in another thread. be a neat reference thread.

Thanks

Josh
