    Beginning to run low...


    I am beginning to run low on powder.

    Think I am down to my last kegs of Hodgdon powders that I bought before leaving Tennessee in the late '70s.

    I paid over a $1 per pound for some of those kegs.

    Hate to think of breaking into the powder that I bought after moving out West.

    Still got plenty of original DuPont IMR, WW, and Hercules powders from before the move.

    Either you bought a literal TON, or you have a condition known as: Need-to-shoot-more-itis.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    Hammer, I still have maybe 4# of the old H450 if'n you're run'n short. Its in a plastic milk jug, the cardboard box and plastic bag it came in are long gone.

    "... you have a condition known as: Need-to-shoot-more-itis. "





    I try to shoot every day that I am not on the road.

    And the Dillons are pretty good at keeping me in ammo.

    But we all need to shoot more.



    As for Hodgdon H450... Have used a lot of it over the years.

    And a lot of H570... a powder many have forgotten.
