No worries! I might pick your brain though on starting a flow hive.

If you get yours flip I'll delete this

Queen Creek and singnsl butte Swarm about 10' up, I have a latter

It's a swarm, just passing through, still there

I have a hive in my tree as of this morning! If you want them?

If retumbo is all you have and your getting results you are satisfied with then why not? Are there better powders out there, yes. When I first started reloading I only used a few powders to load many different types of cartidges. Kept it simple and I recommend keeping it simple as you are just scratching the surface of a whole another world. Let us know how it shoots!

The books generally recommend a 0.020 - 0.010 off the max case length so trimming is not needed as frequently after each firing of the cartridge. If you start out at 2.045 then you will need to trim your brass before your next reload. The brass will most likely stretch to 2.046+ when fired. If so you will need to trim it back to at least 2.045, but as the books recommend go at least 2.035. 0.010 is not much, it should not effect the powder capacity of what your doing. Lance can probably chime in here, much more knowledge than me by far! I enjoy reading and learning from his post

Sometimes Sportsmans Warehouse on their bargin rack has some great deals, defiantly a worth looking at!

If all your info is correct I would say you are good. Always start out with the lowest grn in powder when shooting and look for pressure signs as you go up.

Ok yes you should be good to go, I just over looked the data. If you look again you can see the "C" next to the 49.0. C=Compression load But lance has absolutely great info

I found it on their online reloading data but looking about a compaction load?

Yes some loads will have a compaction load (a load where the bullet is seated into the powder leaving no space) be careful to make sure that it calls for this and that your scale is calibrated correct. If overloaded it might be a bad deal. Can you post a pic of your reloading manual with the info? Reloading Tip as well when loading, only keep one powder out on the bench. Never leave various types out, to easy to get mixed up

How did it group?
