I've used a little bit of 1680 for reloading for my .300 BO. Haven't worked through the first 1 lb. can yet. It seemed to function fine.
I guess if I found another can I'd buy it, but I'm still experimenting. H110 wasn't so good. I tried another AA powder (don't remember the number, but while it functioned, it didn't give me the accuracy of the 1680. Good luck finding some, if you do, I might. |

Quoted:
I'll be looking for some rifle powder still. Might run by Green Tops after the shot to see if they've got any that'll work. Might try Hopkins at 8151 Mechanicsville Turnpike Mechanicsville, VA 23111. Cant say for sure if they sell powder or not but it is a nice shop. They are related to the original owners of Green Top but cant recall in what fashion exactly. |

Well, got 1 lb. of TAC to try with the M1A and some 150 grain FMJ. Saw a big can but I want to see how it does first.
Didn't have a lot of time to look around as we didn't get up there till just after 3 PM. Did see quite a bit more powder than the previous show. I think there was some pretty good prices on some of the ammo. I saw .357 magnum ammo for about $20 a box if you bought a thousand round case. Somewhat less for .40 S&W in case lots. |

I went to this one today. It was the first show I had been to in a couple of years. It is a pretty big show now with two buildings. Ammo prices were pretty good, unless you wanted .22lr. The AR market is flooded with overpriced rifles. Quantico Tactical had some REALLY good prices on brand new XD pistols. That said, $10 to get into the show was stupid.

That said, $10 to get into the show was stupid. It was something like $7 10 years ago... At least there's plenty of free parking. It was pretty much a 'standard' modern Racetrack show. The crowds have thinned to the normal seasonal numbers, which is generally low in August. The low temps meant the BO factor was a lot lower than normal. No A1680, I can tell you that much. One dude was selling Fiocchi 115gr 9mm for $12 a box, and I've got a hungry Uzi to feed. I found an older stainless Beretta 92 mag (quite uncommon) as well, so it was a successful show for me. In the 9:00 line, we also go to listen to two Ferrari's and a Lambo doing a cone course in an adjacent parking lot. |

Suck down as much High Octane Gas as fast as you can and get nowhere (except you get a BIG Smile on your face when you are done): Shoot as many rounds of ammo as fast as you can and get very few direct hits on target (except you get a BIG Smile on your face when you are done): Same Results – Different Hobby |

Quote HistoryQuoted: it's called autocross It must have a looser definition than I thought. Someone in the line said they went over to check it out, and it was a 'drivers experience' thing. $100 and you get 3 laps of the course in any one of the 3 cars they had. |
