is it Gode, Goad... How is that spelled?

That depends on if you are in the north or south side of the hood.

 

[Westside]

Yeah, but he sells glocks for like $700... so that would make the barret around $1300 or so?

Maybe I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I know shame on me.

 

[Westside]

oh look I got a pownage.

I bet I could sell my hi-point on consignment for my asking price.. of course, he'd want 75% of it.

Well he better not be placing a sale on my gun, I'm just asking them to sell it.

I've had the most consistency with IMR powders. The one I currently use produces good results with lower chamber pressures than most. I'm not sure what kind of velocities you're getting, but usually a bit slower on the heavier ones will make it more consistent and make your barrel last longer. Its easy to adjust for drop, so I have no issues with slowing mine down.

I'm trying to stay away from IMR, I don't like their parent company, same company that owns Pioneer seed which I use to work for...

I'm just getting things bought and setup to get started loading. I haven't done any loads yet. Will be working with .357 mag as first pistol caliber, then 30-06 as first rifle. I will be sure to load at least one good hot load and see how close to 300 win mag specs I can get

From what I've read the -06 can get pretty close. I still have more powders to buy and try too.

close to a 300 win mag light load?

Just give me time, you'll see I'll get one close.

Honestly, consistency should be your goal. you can adjust for about everything else... I actually load mine a little under minimum specs

Yeah consistency will be the main goal. Hopefully I can find a powder that is accurate and consistent for my setup without going to IMR. But I will go to them if no other choice. Since I don't have my load charts right in front of me I found this page online real quick just to give a sample of how close a /06 can get. Just to prove a quick point.

If you compare the same bullet with the same powder, you can't really get all that close. I've still got you by 300 fps

I'm with you IJW, I check them all once a year, but for me GEICO is always the cheapest. Only had one claim, but they were good to work with.
