Thread: Bombs for Black Beauty

Was that your load vs the supplied load or 100fps spread ?
My shooting chony can jump nearly 200fps when a shadow moves over it.

Naa VC, original rounds sent up with the rifle, probably different chrony or different conditions then

The value I posted was average, not spread

Ah i see, just be the difference between two different ones on two different days then id say.

On Monday I will hopefully be purchasing my first lot of stuff to make bombs it's all very exciting, especially since I am running out of ammo slowly. Hopefully a good friend will swap some baked goods for the use of his press (yes ebf I'm looking at you, I know how you love my baking!) and I'll be creating deer killing bundles of joy before you know it. Questions though....questions..

1) In a small quantity (also, what's a small quantity?!) can I store powder just in my house?
2) HOW should I store it so it doesn't...go off? Get moisture in it? I don't know!!
3) Same questions for projectiles
4) Should I buy more 308 brass? What kind?
5) What do I ask for when I want projectiles?
6) Am I wasting my time and money buying some manufactured ammo?

Thank you in advanced. Please don't tell me I want "a six inch populating tool" when I go to the counter at the shop......

Only suggestion from me would be to keep your powder in a detached garage or shed, not in the house if you can help it (insurance aspects more than anything else).

Don't worry too much about new brass either. even if you're fl sizing you'll get a few loads out of the brass you have.

Good luck, and beware the addiction that lurks close by!

Shake some of the them. The difference will be obvious...
