I have a measure and will buy some loose, but is Pyrodex or T7 better? Someone said the Shockey powder was horrible......
Knight/Barnes bullets are what I'm after first. I reload Barnes X bullets in my.338and like them.
Either is good, T7 is newer, a bit more powerful. Shockey is less powerful and velocity at same charge varies quite a bit (up to 207 Fps). Then stick with Barnes, Knight sells the "Red Hot", which is a Barnes also the ultimate slam, which is a BarnesTMZ.ABarnes MZ is also a good bullet. I like the 300g sincethe keep energy down range better. If you sight in 3" high at 100 yards your shooting thru a 6" pipe from 0 to about 175. Best Wishes,
