The DA primers are great. Any chance we could get some surplus powders for reloading to go with the primers? I'd expect it would be a big seller.
Powder?

That's good to hear. We need a reliable non-US source of powder and reloading components. IMO we are too dependant on the US for our shooting supplies and unfortunately the US isn't as reliable as they once were.

Agreed. Would love to buy powder if it was available. It is so hard to get your hands on the good American stuff.

How would we know what measurement to use? all of my reloading books only give me info on locally available powders?
Load it until your gun explodes and then tell us how much that was and we'll use a little less.

The internet will provide a base like. Plenty of foreign information sources available. Start low and work up to pressure signs. No different then standard reloading practise

Use it the same way we use other surplus powders that aren't listed in the commercial reloading books. This isn't a new concept.

That's My point I don't use surplus powder for reloading and generally only follow what I can at least get a baseline for! you must be one of them thar edumacated experts We hear bout on here is ya
I will assume that the powder we get is gonna be direct from china and if its like everything else we buy from china I am willing to bet we'd be lucky to pull a name from the writing on the box much less any base line info
were not talking American surplus military powder are we? maybe I should just pop open some norc 7.62X39 and dump the powder and weigh it hey?? as well as some 223
haha I love buying chinese stuff cuz its cheap and a lot of the guns are pretty durable but I myself will leave the powder already in the bullets on this one thanks

Surplus powders aren't for everyone, obviously. Thousands of us do use surplus powder and find or make our own data but that might not be for you.
Right now there is no powder being offered so complaining about the quality of the nonexistant powder and the nonexistant data for the nonexistant powder seems kind of silly.
If you stop to think about it, milsurp russian or chinese powder would be no more dangerous than milsurp chinese or russian ammo, would it?
If there is powder offered at some point, then you would be free to not buy it then. But GOSH - it's not even been offered or identified yet. So you're complaining about something that doesn't exist and may never be offered. You like to get an early start, huh?!

Trying to reload pistol right now- at this point I'm about ready to try anything. I'm reloading with bloody shotgun powder right now and that took nearly 6 months to source
Finish the trifecta and bring in some projectiles too!
