I know in an earlier thread- I asked about the storage of powder and primers and keeping them in my garage (in Texas). Yesterday at the range- all the rounds loaded the previous week went off- so that should help answer my question. I have one pound of the 231 (or is it WST) that has been sitting in the garage for a couple years- so let's see how it rolls. I need to get more bullets and as of 07:30 on Father's Day- think I will be ordering 1,000 of the RMR 124gr bullets. I would like to get a bit cheaper with some of the Blue Bullets or Bayou Bullets- but need to double check my range guidelines. Not sure I can shoot them there- it would be nice since that would lower the price.
Did some major online shopping last night- putting together a nerdy excel spreadsheet to track price comparisons. I hate to admit but the local Cabela's prices seem to be inline when ordering a certain level of powders/primers.
Right now- I am thinking of going with Titegroup (holds head down in shame) and the RMR bullets. I want to try GuanoLoco's powder recommendation- but am rationalizing using Titegroup b/c its well known....stupid Matt and thinking too much. My main concern is the process of working up a load- when I just discovered that Dillon case lube is really sticky. There is some definite inexperience at my level.
