Re: ? for IMR 4227 users...

Over many years of reloading I have come across certain powder/cartidge combinations that required magnum primers because regular primers didn't completely burn all the powder.

? for IMR 4227 users...

Do you use standard rifle primers or magnum rifle primers for your 4227 loads?

Please tell me why. I just came into 8 lbs. of this powder and will be using it for supersonic loads in a 16" barrel. (125 gr. bullets). Thanks.

Re: No more MPW's?

I like the idea of having the brand - AAC - and the caliber - 300 AAC BLK - on both the upper and lower receivers. Maybe AAC can sell just the receivers or do as Colt is doing now and just sell barreled receivers with the BCG and gas system, minus the furniture and other parts. One can only wish/hope.
