Hey Yooper! how are things going? 6 days left - I am waiting for the 22nd. than I can hunt elk... that is my true passion... normally deer have to find me.

I agree with your words about T7 in the Remington... There are a lot people that think it sucks up the water... but here is a experiment for you to try sometime - maybe you have already seen me post this - one of the reasons that T7 is harder to ignite is I beleive it is coated with a something to protect the powder from absorbing moisture - anyway - try this... put some water in a small bowl place that some where that it will not be disturbed (bounced-moved)for awhile - then drop in some T7 from a spoon - Now I mean right now BP or Pyro will start disolving - but look at the T7- it reamains in its granular form. Walk away and check several hours later... if it has no been sloshed around it will still be granular. If you could wait for the water to evaportae and the powder to dry - you could shoot it... I did this several years ago... I like T7 - I like BH too but I can not afford it unless I quit shooting.
