American reloading

[223Animal]

Just ordered some powder, from american reloading midwest powder is it any good, $209 for 8 lbs anyone had any dealings with them?

Never heard of either one. Of course that doesn't mean much since I live under a rock

I believe that is powder from surplus pull down ammo

 

[223Animal]

Well got the ups number so I'll give it a while 8lbs $209 good for plinking with my ARs

Makes me feel nostalgic because Winchester 748 was near that price not so many years ago...

It IS pull down powder and American is good to go. The prices are dropping. Keep an eye on them.

Thanks I'll get my order in a few days, I'll make a few bullets with different grains test the fps and decide how much grains to use . I'll give the info on the different grains.

I thought about trying the MP413- similar to H335.

That's what I ordered $209 for 8lbs let you know what it clocks at I'll do 25 grains 55gr bullets see the fps as soon as I get it I'll have the numbers,I have a chronograph hopefully it's ok

25.0 gr. H335 is listed as max. load for 55 gr. NBT's @3140 fps. You might be wise to cut that starting point a bit, especially since it is "similar to H335".

I have accurate 2015 19 to 24 grams hodgdon 335 21 to 25 I'll start at 19 grains go up slow to 25 grains 2100 fps to 3200 fps find out soon

When I get the mp413 I'll start at 19 grains should be around 2800 fps 25 grains around 3200 fps I'll have the numbers in a couple of days

Go up 1 grain at a time

If this is for an AR(gas rifle) start at 22.0 gr work up 0.25 gr increments. I don't max out loads for AR's, their not bolt gun strong. Low pressure rds can safety issue also. 19 seems very low for 55 grs, unless it is lead free.

Sounds about right, im real carful, made alot of subsonic rounds always know if the bullet exits the barrel, I will get the numbers, just not sure about the powder I love being retired I can go to my shooting place take my time and figure all about the powder wherever I start "22" I'll make 5 rounds and see how consistent they run, can't wait to see how they run.
