Ramshot Magnum has served well but I've given up on finding it again locally or in an 8 pounder. Paying the hazmat fee to ship a one pounder does not make much sense, so I'm looking for options.

The rifle is a Savage with 25 inch magnum contour barrel, shooting 68 grains of powder, Fed 215 primers and 180 grain VLDs. For some reason this is yielding 3000 fps, which is where I want to be. I love the ball powders for their metering properties, but will switch if I must. I usually single-weigh these charges anyway.

Thanks and good shooting this fall!
