    powder

    Quick question...or two

    Is there a powder chart that is sorted based off temp sensitivity?


    Second, I use BL-C (2) for my .223 75-77 gr loads. Anyone have a less temp sensitive powder they recomend?



    Thanks for your time!

    Any of the H series of powders from Hodgdon are labeled as temp sensitive but I'm sure even in that group some are better than others.

    I would look at Varget for your loads with the heavier bullets but it may not feed consistently in a progressive press. It also may require a drop tube for best results as well.

        No worries. I would have responded earlier but was out of pocket most of Sunday. I saw it but my phone wouldn't get good enough service to post. Gotta love being that far out, it's a blessing yet burden in it's own way.

          Would be willing to accept both if I could get a nice place in the country...say 30-45minutes out from a major retailer.

            My folks live about 30 miles from the closest major city and 5-6miles of that is driving down a gravel road. You can walk out their front door and look across a wheat field that is roughly 1.5 sections and on the other side is the Red River. All you can really see is the opposite side since it is a very large bank side. It was great growing up out there and having friends that had a ton of land at our disposal, wether it was spot lighting, fishing the several rivers or stock tanks and there was also plenty of time spent on the Red River knee boarding and camping. It is pretty neat there were times I've walked out and had pigs within 50yds, had more than one badger try to kill our dogs, porcupines (sp?) On the porch or coyotes Damn near in the yard. I'd say the biggest problem would be if you didn't have a good water supply and the fact you will never 100% keep mice out of your house or garage.

              dee one of my friends also has land matching that description. He is pretty close to Muenster. You are right about the pigs up against the river there. I should head that way again and try and clear some out.

                Oh how I would love to get out of this place and find a quiet place to live. A place where you can feel the crisp cool morning air, have coffee on the back porch butt naked and poppin prairie dogs off....oh what a life

                and that’s just Monday...lol

                  I'm a GOOD bit west of Muenster but the pigs are pretty much the same all the way down. A good friend of mine lives a bit closer to the river and had pigs coming up a ransacking his flower beds after putting new mulch in.

                    go out there on a cool evening with some thermal and night vision, get those bastards through the thicket.

                      Cool evenings aren't the norm this time of year. They stopped coming around for a few months now although there are two large boars (300lbs or so) I'm wanting a shot at but haven't had a lot of time.

                        This Thursday will be 68, that's plenty of a temperature differential.

                          Hadn't looked at the forecast but ours shows 66 here. I may have to go out the front could throw off their schedule a bit.
