H1000 at Higginson's

[Dogleg]

For those that have been scouring the country looking for H1000, Higginson's shipment is on it's way. For those that care about such things, it's coming in 8 pound jugs and that's how he's selling it. I got my name on 5 of 'em.

Is this part of the shipment he has been waiting on for a while?

How much are the 8-lb jugs?

Yes, I've been calling him regularly while watching my supply dwindle.

 

[Dogleg]

How much are the 8-lb jugs?

About $26 a pound, free shipping over 21 pounds.

I phoned Andrew this morning to change the order to 6 8lb jugs. I'd rather be looking at it, than looking for it.

Dogleg, pardon my curiosity but how many rifles do you feed with that powder??
Out of the 70 or more long guns I have only one chambering likes it and that is a 6.5x55...

So your the reason for all the shortages....
I know my 300 rum loves h1000, 869 is useable, but h1000 is better.

The worst offender is my .338 Edge, which will eat a pound a day if not watched closely. I've made a major shift from RL22 in the .300s when I proved to myself that long range accuracy, low ES and temperature insensitivity were in a different league. At the current time I've got 5 of those. H1000 is a classic powder for the STW, of which I've got 2. The list goes on, including some that I haven't tried it in but would have if I wasn't trying to stretch my last few cases out while searching for more.

Hey, you have 5 more guns than me . I'm feeling better already.

I'm not the only one, but we did buy out your dealer last week. In my defense I had more ordered than they shipped him. 'course, with Higginson's prices I'm actually saving you money.

Not trying to hi-jack your thread, but I had this opinion about rifles :
Some is good, more is better, too many is just enough !
Now, at 63 I'm starting to get different ideas.
When I moved from Saskatoon to BC 20 yrs. ago, I had 4 long guns and I currently have more gun safes than that !!

I'm thinking it's time to do some herd thinning too. Buy fewer and better, buy components and go hunting instead.

I have been waiting, higginsons emailed me and said that they are still out of h1000
