Title: 9000 rounds worth of powder!!!!???
Post by: Geeman on July 06 2014 08:48:38 AM MDT
I was low on Power Pistol and a found 4# container at my usual supplier.

Then I saw an 8# jug of 800x (Hodgden)

Oh, and a 1# of the new CFE Pistol to begin playing with.

I won't be running low any time soon!!!

Yep, I'm part of the reason for the shortage :P

Let us know how the CFE pistol treats you. I know it is similar to PP but curious how well it is "flash suppressed".

I just got an 8 pound jug of Red Dot and use it to load .38 special DEWC rounds to use for practice on my .357 Mag Dan Wesson. I figured it out once. With my normal recipe of 2.8 grains of Red Dot, I can make 20,000 reloads with that 8 pound jug.

Using Blue Dot I'd need close to 13lbs of powder.
