Back to Alliant Varmint So Jerry is the Varmint loads compressed? Slower than Benchmark and IMR XBR? Very curious about these Alliant powders. Tim

I cannot speak for the short version but I do have each a Billy Stevens built 22Br and 22-100 PPC. The full BR is a tad too much although it does extremely well with varget and it would not shock me to find it likes IMR 4320 either. Both of the 4895 powders look to be a good fit. As for shorties...

Thanks to a PM from DSM I was able to make contact with Carbon River and hopefully on my way to resolving the situation. Thank you to everyone who spoke up. I really appreciate it. Tim

Yup, so far it appears I have been stiffed for money. Typically I send the Check with the order so the person knows I'm not kicking tires but this episode has turned me a little sour on dealing with smaller companies. I usually go to the Seattle area several times a year and I guess I'll be...

Thanks buddy. Somebody's got to know this man, he can't be a ghost! Tim

Does anybody know what's the. Current situation with Carbon River Fabrication? My emails bounce back, their website seems down, and know answer or return call by telephone. I'm trying to collect on an order from Jan/feb. Tim

Ray- Yah I realize most 222.5's are different. That is the main reason for wanting to look at a few. Actually it because I'm terrible at trig equations. I know the body and shoulder angle (approx) that I want, but can not figure the neck and OAL TOGETHER. Tim H.- Ill send you an email today or...

I'm helping older fellow who is a real good friend. He wants to " relive old" times with modern stuff. He's thinking 223 lapua cases could be used. Tim J.

I'm on the search for some 222 1/2 cases from which to have a reamer based. Will pay for cases and of course shipping. Thanks, Tim J

Lee, I bought 24lb of pulldown 8208 from Bruno. Will be in my hands when I get home from Pueto vallarta. I can let you know what I know if you guys don't try it first. Personally I think its going to be the cats meow. I also plan to mix h322 with 8208xbr 50/50 to speed xbr up a little. Can't get...

I brought some 3031 to the range to day. Shot crappy out of the gate because started to low. But as I crept up the Culver clicks the groups started to shrink. I ran out of cases before I reached max but I started to get a clue as to what I think. Considering the pain dealing with the large...

Jo191145: While it is very mild in my part of the state (most southern town, just north of Seattle and West of B.C.) it was 27 then 26 deg the two days this happened. I never meant to imply that the Rem primers were better but, instead wanting to know why groups were that much better with...

Excellent idea! I mean I thought of that also but a good ole head to head experiment with the primes sounds like a lot of fun. Good thing the primers can't speak or they each would cry for a .2" handicap because of the mentally handicap shooter! Tim J.

These recent experienses have we wondering how much performance I have been leaving on the table with certain powders playing copycat or follow the leader with the Fed 205's? Also thought it was weird that everybody was bragging up H4198 in Waldog type cartridges but I couldn't shoot squat...

Thanks for reply Mr. Johnson. Do you own one of these triggers? I'm just not a trigger savvy guy. My Hart trigger has a lot of slack or creep in it before it breaks. Is there an adjustment for that? Tim J.

The other day I worked up a great load in my 22-.100 short PPC using x-terminator and 7 1/2 primers. Two days later just for grins I was shooting the same powder thu the different charges with 205m's and lost velocity and accuracy. But the loads I was using of H322 actually got better. What...

My sporter has a Hart two ounce trigger that I would like to adjust. I have Stuart Otteson's book " Benchrest actions and triggers" but do not see an explanation on how to tune. This rifle came to me via many other shooting careers and is not an original with me. Actually any info would be...

Thanks everybody. I think I will try it head to head against x-terminator, h322, and h4198. It has to shoot well in a range of weather to make it worth the extra hassle of it's bulky kernels. The thing that caught my eye about this powder is the fact that it has correct approximate burn rate and...

I'm not trying to be ridiculous here but where I live you don't just go to the sporting goods store and pick up a 8lb'er of v133. I'll probably try it but thought I'd throw it out there, hoping to get a favorite load or a stern warning not to waste my time.:confused::confused: Thanks...

I have been working with a 22BR in a LV for close to two years. Does not shoot like my PPC rifle. In defense of the cartridge the reamer maker made a mistake and ground my reamer neck ,254 instead of ,244 and the gunsmith just went ahead and used it anyway, I did not find out till the gun was...
