    Greetings All, Apologies from me also. In penance I remind all that all tested load data for the Hodgdon/ ADI powders can be used for loads for the ADI powders. These are the same powders, made in...

    Greetings Mauser 308, My M700 .308 manufactured Feb 1975 has a 1 in 10 inch twist barrel which was standard for them at that time and for years thereafter. I don't know what twist they use in their...

    rewa liked post by grandpamac On thread : Best adi powder data

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Best adi powder data
    Greetings All, I tend to use the Hodgdon on line data rather than the ADI site. It is exactly the same data but the Hodgdon site has IMR and Winchester data as well. I checked Brian Pierce's Pet...
