I have no experience (yet) with CFE BLK, but I think that it may prove to be a near-ideal powder for the .500, at least for what I want, and perhaps the .460 as well. Consider: It is slower than 296/H110. It is more dense than 296/H110 (more grains of it will fit in the available space.)...

I am certain that this is EXACTLY the reason for the .500s that have been blown up using Titegroup.

That's one way to look at that picture. Another way is to realize that in a one-person reloading shop with a number of tools, only one tool is being used at a time. All the others that aren't being used are irrelevant, just as the lathe, surface grinder, shaper, and jig borer in a "cluttered"...

Many of the responders in this thread seem to think that I am saying Titegroup is a bad powder, and they (correctly) point out that one shouldn't blame a component for something that is clearly caused by an error on the part of the reloader. Some activities, and reloading is one of them, can...

Excellent point. Both Unique and 2400 have a very long history of being safely used in reduced rifle loads, such as turning a .30-30 into a small game rifle using cast bullets. Circa 1970, a friend blew up a Springfield using a load he had developed of 24 grains of surplus 4895 behind a cast...

Some people, however, do exactly that. Shooting and reloading, as with all activities that have hundreds of thousands of participants, is a big tent... Extreme left of "Loading" picture shows a Dillon 1050 dedicated to .500 S&W. Extreme right shows an 8 station progressive in .50 BMG. The...

DING DING DING! I could not agree more with your statement.

I have been asked by one of the members in a private message to comment on Titegroup powder for loading the .500 Smith & Wesson. I have now handled a grand total of five Smith & Wesson .500 magnums that were blown up using handloads. In EVERY case, the powder used was Titegroup. I believe...

Factory twist rate is 1:18.75 and mine is 1:10. Mine will stabilize 725s@800 FPS. 725s are stable in the factory twist if driven over 1200 FPS which is only possible in the long barrels.

I'm sorry you feel this way, and I'm a bit perplexed by these comments, given your texts to me raving about the gun, and trying to apologize for your earlier angry missives, to which I replied that no apology was needed or wanted. I hope you continue to enjoy your .500.

There have been discussions, but the one fellow who was the most serious about getting it done wanted a particular woman to narrate it, and I didn't feel she was the proper choice. I'm certainly open to suggestion about an audiobook, but that decision ultimately rests with my publisher, not...

Yes.

Unintended Consequences has always been in print and available for $30 from www.accuratepress.net. Hope to have Kindle copies ready by yearend. The sequel to UC, Cold Resolve, is coming some time after the election. With all the craziness, I can't release it until things settle down and I know...

I'd like to thank Oddjob and the other moderators for letting me have my say. It appears that I've only managed to bring even more hostility and vitriol down on myself. Since I am no longer a dealer, and my previous inventory is either being bought in bulk by local investors that I know...

On the same day that I opened the letter in question (I'm unsure of the exact date), I opened another envelope in my stack of mail, this one from the Missouri AG's office threatening legal action. I looked at the expired license with no extension letter, looked at the threat from the AG's...

Please provide documentation of the assertion you made above. 12 to 18 months? Seriously? Do you honestly believe that any vendor would take a customer's money for a product that the seller had in stock, ready to ship, and then sit on the order for over a year? Names, please. JR

I get literally dozens of messages a day on FB, most of them spam, and I don't read them. ALL of my FB posts are set to "public" and anyone can read them and respond to them. THAT would have been the way to get my attention, but the OP wasn't on FB, didn't know that, and I didn't get the word...

I tell everyone I speak to who is interested in buying a gun from me that I am a one-man operation. I do not have a secretary, let alone a shipping department. Further, I'm somewhat crippled up, and all guns are stored in a bank vault away from my home, so it may take a bit before I can get...

I was recently alerted to this 14 page(!) thread about my alleged thievery. I had not logged in to this site for quite some time and was not aware of this thread's existence until two days ago. Perhaps those of you who speculated about why I never shipped the customer's gun would like to hear...
