Ramshot Hunter

Well Once upon a time, Ramshot hunter was my favorite powder for my 300WSM. It burnt clean and delivered a relatively fast bullet to the target.

Last night when I went to my local supplier. "We're out and it could be over a month before we get more," was the response I got. So I went to Big R, they usually have what I want. "We don't carry that brand."

What am I getting to you ask. My attempt to continually utilize an uncommon powder (not the go to powder for many) has failed me. Back to XMR-4350 I go!! I should have never left the popular formulation.

MT,

I used to shoot alot of XMR4350, as it was much cheaper than IMR. Everything was going along just fine until I got the last 8 lb container. It has a burning rate that duplicates 4831 to the grain. Certainly not a problem for your use. But it really screwed me up for awhile.

Have you noticed this?

Jim


Please be an ethical PD hunter, always practice shoot and release!!

Praying for all the brave souls standing in harms way.

I don't know which Big R you went to that didn't carry Ramshot powders. Big R West in Billings carries them (or at least did the last time I was in there), and usually has a pretty good stock on hand.

If you're farther east Red Rock in Miles City carries Ramshot powders as well.
