    Ramshot "Grand", seems to be a solid powder.

    I've been playing around with the new RS Grand powder. Good fill rate with low ES/SD and respectable velocities without pressure. Made in the USA and is available just about everywhere. That's a WIN in this day and age! Here are a few loads that "Grand" has proven to be a winner. AS ALWAYS...

    I'm puzzled?? New rifle, right out of the box, never fired by me, extreme copper fowling in the middle of the 24" barrel. No copper the first 6" past the throat and no copper the last 6" to the muzzle. The middle of the barrel has extreme copper smeared down both the lands and grooves. The...
