I wouldn't be concerned. I would want to make sure it was well blended and I would start a little low on your loads and cross check to your previous chrono data, which is wise with many powders anyway when staring with a new lot number. Burn rates vary from lot to lot...

I'll let you know... The powder is perfectly good though. I'd guess 2 years old, kept in the house. My .270 barrel just didn't last as long as my powder supply for it and my new 6.5-06 tube likes H4831 and H1000.

Reloder 22 and a 130 Hornady at 3000 fps worked great out of my 22" M70 barrel. 500 yard group shown...

Just went through the break in process with a new 6.5-06 match barrel my shooting buddy installed on my hunting rifle. With a match barrel all the "break in" does is smooth any minor tool marks in the throat left by the reamer. We did 3 one shot and cleans followed by a 5 shot and clean. Now, the barrel simply doesn't copper foul... I have not discerned any improvement from breaking in a factory barrel.

We sometimes require an offhand shot or two, but the stages are divided into no grass, or 18" grass. Any position or support is OK as long as the muzzle is 18" above the ground for the grass stages.

Attention Hunters and Shooters, Phoenix Rod and Gun Club is having a Hunting Rifle Shoot on Sunday April 26, 8:00AM, arrive early for set up. Cost is $15 for non club members, $10 for members. We will be shooting animal targets ranging from coyotes or javelina to deer, bear and antelope from 100 to 400+ yards from field positions, some with time or other constraints. There will be several different stages with fewer than 35 rounds fired. You can use different rifles (hunting type) for different stages if you wish. This isn't intended as a shooting match but rather an opportunity to practice with your hunting gear and techniques in field conditions. Bring anything you would use on a hunt and nothing you wouldn’t. It will be at the PRGC High Power Range. PRGC is at the southern end of 7th AVENUE (not street) up against the mountain. HP is accessed at the gate to the left at the back of the public range parking lot. For additional info see: http://arizona-rifle... ... -PRGC.html Hope to see you there. Feel free to post or PM with questions Mike Samer Hunting Rifle Shoot Director

Think ya used enough dynamite there Butch? Sorry, couldn't resist...

How are the roads looking in the Mormon Mountain area? Wife wants to go camping and I think it may be a little early...

Thanks guys.

I really like my outdoorsmans medium tripod & pistol grip setup for backpacking. I'll have to check out that micro pan head though...

What's a projo?

Yes, we'll see how it goes, but I plan to be there around 7AM to start setting up. We will have a steel deer and boar target this time that will help us keep shooting if it rains.

Those are the old style. The B/GA T*s have fold down eyecups, larger diameter lenses in the eyepieces, and are marked B/GA on the bridge. At least mine did...

Cool. Looks like sidewinder trail at PSP north?

I haven't had him do any work in a long time, so I'd call him. He has been at the same location for 30 years or so and definitely knows his business.

Nelson Ford would be my pick for an S&W smith. Google The Gunsmith Inc.
