I just ordered my die set from blackmon. I didn't even ask what the current lead time was when I ordered them. If I get them in a year I'll be happy as I know he's real busy right now.
I look at it like this. I live in Houston and can go shoot IDPA / USPSA at several clubs that have matches during the week and also on the weekend. You can get into both of these sports with minimal cash outlay and be competitive because they have a production class and the also have a shooter...
For those of us the aren't bullet makers good pictures really do help a lot. The other threads helped out a lot but a pictures is worth a thousand words as they say.
just called wideners and the only thing the lady could tell me about the powder was that it actually is made in sweden. She gave me the name of a tech there that could give me more information next week.

Its supposed to be equivalent to IMR4198 specs and good for 30br. Just checking to see if anyone has bought some yet. Any ideas on a manufacturer of this powder.
Mike Ezell has me hooked on the 30major. I've only been shooting it a few weeks but results in practice have been very promising. It was an easy upgrade to my 6 ppc boltface.
Yeah but benchrest shooters, especially short range benchrest, represents a tiny minority of the shooting public. The needs of tactical, 3 gun, and long range benchrest shooters will be met first becuase thats where the money is at.
