    Our Sportsmans was starting to get a stockpile of powder. They had stuff like Win 748, 760, 296, 231 IMR 4198, Varget (yes, several cans), etc, etc. Probably 40 1lb canisters. Then there was a gun show in town and it all disappeared again.

    Yeee-up! That’s how it’s wrote now.. Need to be patient, diligent & jump on it when you can. I feel fortunate to have gotten these 2 cans of BLC-2. Especially since it’s my top 223 powder anyway.

    In a factory stock model 10 in 223, a 73 gr Berger, Varget, LC brass and BR-4 primer has been taking the prize money fairly consistently at 100 yd varmint for score competitions here in Austin. Stuff the Berger into the lands and the heal sits on top of the charge. Not compressed, but just about a max charge with that bullet and a stock chamber. When the wind is blowing 15 to 20 and you're cleaning the targets, plus a few X's, that's pretty remarkable shooting for a stock Savage, or any stock rifle for that matter.

    Just so you know I'm not blowing smoke. http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?...ts-Feb-27-2022
    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.

    Very cool!

    Since the larger Bergers do so well in my .308 I have thought about using them in the .223. Maybe I'll have to jump in there. :)
