Ramshot Big Game Reviews?

[Sawtooth]

Buddy loads Big Game for his Sako rifles. One a .270 and the other one is a 30-06. Both ridiculously accurate with the powder and Barnes tsx bullets.

Not to hijack, but I've recently been experimenting with RS Hunter in 280AI. I had about 70 160gn Federal TBTs sitting on the shelf, initial results are pretty darn good. Got them up to about 2850fps at about .65MOA. ES and SD are a little higher than I usually would like tho.

Get him Greta!

So, here is a cool one, they did not have RS Hunter on the Defender Ammo website. When I went to pick up my Varget and Big Game, they had three lbs of Hunter on the rack. I grabbed two lbs.

I love Big Game powder in my 7-08 with 140 grain bullets. I wished it metered better, though. That’s my only complaint. But it ain’t enough to make me quit using it.

What type of metering issue?

Thread like this are just a bunch of BS. Now I have to buy a new reloading manual just to figure out what your talking about! :-( My old manuals do have some wear on them!

That stuff bounces like crazy out of the pan of my auto powder dispenser. It gets all over the place.

This is true. It's kind of annoying. This was much worse in the old Hornady auto-charger I used to have, but better in the RCBS. Last time I used RS powder I just worked with a manual powder thrower and a trickler to top it off.

I put 3 paper towels under my loader when I use it. One on each side and one in the front. The paper towels do a good job catching the powder. This is even with the door closed on the dispenser.

I've looked on line for data but I'm afraid companys are more interested in showing off computer skills than helping people. I'm pretty challanged with the computer. But this western powder page I actually get! Thanks!

personly i think a 22 slug gun has a fair bit of kick and is bit to loud with ear mufs so i use gel blasters

How is the temp stability with the big game powder?
