And the price has gone up since I ordered it.

Wait for this next scare to blow over. Give it another 2-3 months afterward and you should see your powder. I'm about to finally kick off my reloading adventure. Got 5,000 pieces of 5.56 brass that need cut and sized for .300 blackout. Got my work cut out for me. But going all 220gr subs.

Now waiting for my next tax stamp to come in.

Free courtesy of four years of weapons training/qualification in the Navy. And that's just what I could grab and carry a couple of pockets full at a time. I wasn't the only one that collected brass either so I had to share. Also have 200 some odd cases of .50 to reload.

What powder? I like AA2230 for my Hornady 68gr BTHP's. Probably can't use that on a 300BK though.

ARComp or TAC are great powders for the .223. That's why I bought 8lbs each. I'm shooting the Sierra 69gr Match or the 75gr Hornady Match out of my AR15. Also both powders will work with the .308 AR's.

that TAC was impossible after sandy hook so i tried a few and i really like the AA2230. ive used the 75gr hornady also but my gun likes the 68's. no idea why i do it though, the guns only a 10" so even shooting green tip i cant pass through crap. at 100yrds though its good enough.

It took since last May to get ARComp. Since May, haven't heard a word on the TAC.

What's the twist in your barrel? Mines an 8.
