I'm changing directions.

Obviously the upper charges of r16.

5, 6 and 7 with AR Comp looks like winner too. The velocity spread on the Ar comp at the node is what I am seeing in the 6bra.

3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 with the Ar Comp... what is that about 2 inches of vertical?

Had some decent results with rl16 in a dasher the only problem is even using a drop tube it was compressed and it makes getting consistent seating depths a pain. Had to measure each one and reseat some every now and then.

what could be better than a dasher as a backup to a dasher?

That would be a 6BR Ackley as a backup to a 6BR Ackley Dusty.

I asked James what lot of H4895 he was shooting but never heard back. 5825 and 7076 both shoot under 3” for me at 1K, well under. They chronograph at the same velocity.

If I were wrong about the powder being inconsistent, I prefer to not name lots. I am not here to bring doubt in everyone's mind about their powder. Like Jim O'hara said, one will simply have to try several powders to determine which is best for their barrels. Good shooting...James

I won more relays and matches with rl15 at williamsport this year than without it. ;)

Fred, that is what I'm getting at, I did test and found that temperature insensitivity has to be taken with a grain of salt. RL - 15 is good to go as any powder, I did well with it and I didn't have to hunt a good lot like Varget, H4895 and H4350...... I never found much difference in lot to lot with RL-15....... jim

I cant say as I know what the chronograph differences with rl15 were, I still dont own one of those. Maybe someday when I get good at this Ill buy one. But I will say the targets turned out pretty good, considering the conditions this spring.


Edit: I should clarify relay wins for group. I sure as hell cant shoot for score lol

I like the FRED part. Wonder where he got that name from. Fred and Ridgeway know what they are talking about. Matt
