Ever since they reformulated Kryptonite it just isn’t as accurate for me. The old version was supposedly “dirty” but with lubed cast bullets the lube is a far bigger cause of fouling than powder.

Reloder π is my current choice for 10 mm Tritanium.

Mmmmm....π

It won't foul if you use Starmetal Lube.

π R round = volume of human stomach

you probably need a 4-5gr. kicker charge of red-dot to get that new stuff burning right.
you could always drill the base of the case for a 45-70 shell full of black powder [topped off with paraffin] if things really get tight.

As an old person we are doing the social distancing thing(oldest son is also a Dr. and watches us pretty close) so I don't know but powder on the computer is hard to get for the revolver, wish I had more. Between the 38-357, the .22, the 16 gauge, the 12 gauge, the 30-06 and the 6.5x55 Swede I can shoot something the rest of my life. I run out to one of the Son-in law's fields and shoot with no interference.
For you Nebraskans, oldest Son just called and confirmed their first "positive" in Scottsbluff county.

 

[Brad]

Not real surprised. Only takes one person who visited elsewhere recently.

Rex, if you can get any Red Dto or Promo it will take care of much of your shooting needs With cast.

green dot will too and gets overlooked.
700-X seems to usually be available around here even when most everything else is gone it's about thisdamnclose to red-dot.
in a pinch 800-X and Steel both work very well in rifle loads [and in stuff like the 44 mag.] I wouldn't pass either of them up even if I had to weigh out each charge.

I ordered a bunch of 5.56, 22lr, 3006, 9mm, and 12 guage ammo for a blasting campout with a friend last year before a setback got in the way.
Now, the biggest problem I have is what to grab when the zombie apocalypse gets ramped up.
Oh yeah, loaded up 800 or so 6.5x55 as well.

I have t been in a shop in two weeks now. Usually go at least one night and every weekend.

I was SHOCKED to see 5-7 long guns in stock NO AMMO and little else in one shop. A second shop that always full was down to about 1/3 ammo stocks and 1/2 long gun stocks.
90% of there stock in firearms was the MSR -OTHERS that this shop Manufacturers as a store brand.

Some used long guns & handguns in cases.

I can only imagine now.


I have a few cons in these shops and hope to have a nice surprise when this is over and I go back in.

I'm still stuck with a bunch of Illudium-Q36 that I bought a couple of years ago out of a goofy rabbits trunk in the parking lot of a gun show. He also had a green Spartan type helmet, but it was too small to fit me. The rabbit wasn't much of a concern, but he had this menacing black duck with him that spoke with a lisp. That duck was crazy!

The local farm store had bricks of CCI blazers (22LR) on sale last week for $18.99
I went in on Monday for a few bricks ...they were sold out. I asked how many there were on the shelf on Sunday,,,they said, Zero. They sold out Saturday morning...that's when I learned their sales start on Saturday, I always thought their sales started on Sunday
I asked for a raincheck, they said, No can do.

Checked out Wally while I was in for a script p'up I cruised sporting goods , Ms is taking this free fishing thing a little too seriously , shelf face/fill of 12,20 ga and a couple of bullet weights in most of the standards , 7 flavors of 22 LR and a couple of 555 boxes of Win couple of 22 WM and 17 HMR , a little 223 . Of course no pistol ammo . The shelves are thin but stocked . Dropped a few isle islands , lotta Gatorade on the end caps in health and beauty to fill spaces . Paper products seem to be filling in too . Alternates available for preferred products not available .

I like Corbimite and ML#41 in mine .
