Catching up on reloading

Post by Cammo »

It has been the perfect time to lock myself in my dungeon (Reloading Room) and catch up on some empty cases.
I've reloaded 204 with Blitzking 39gr, .17 Hornet with 20gr Zombie projectiles, .243 with Barnes 90gr Ballistic Tip Hunting and 300 Blackout with Barnes 110gr Tac-Tx FB (Blackout), just have to see how the loads go at the range.

One of the big Sydney GS said they are no longer importing Hodgdon powders anymore, I like Lil'Gun!

Regards

What do you mean they are no longer importing Hodgdon powders? Hodgdon imports most of their powder from Australia.

Won’t be a reciprocal arrangement anymore. They will take ours but Winchester or whoever it was that was importing lil gun etc powders won’t be doing it anymore.
Not cost effective for them apparently.
