Stocked up on bullets

After a big breakfast and thawing out from this mornings hunt. My buddy and I stopped by Wally World to see if they have any good things marked down. Well, they had T7 2f for $15/lb, Pyrodex RS for $10/lb, and TC Shockwaves for $5 a pack. I bought all of their Shockwaves (13 packs). WOOHOO! I am now set for my Savage for a while. I will wait a couple weeks and get the powder when it drops a bit more.

Guns wera all gone. Oh well.

Re: Stocked up on bullets

I am using the 250 gr SST or Shockwave. I have not shot them in the BP guns. I only use them in the smokeless gun.

I use a custom made loading tip I made. I took a .223 casing and cut it down until the tip of the bullet just touched the base of the case. I drilled and tapped the primer hole to accept a 10-32 stud that was locked in with red locktite. I then mixed some epoxy and put it over the SST that was coated with release agent. I centered the bullet and left everything dry. That's my custom made loading tip. You can also spend $5 and buy a commercial one. I did mine before they made the commercial ones though.
