Just picked up another 1K CCI #41's for $35(1K left at supplier). That makes 3K in my inventory now.:)

Not 6.8 related but I also got 500 69gr Sierra BTHP Match bullets for $100 as well, seemed like a good deal to me since the last ones I looked at were like $140+ for 500.

I got a lb of Win 748 the other day as well for $22, what cartradige and load is this powder good for? or should I trade it for something else that I use. I currently use Varget(over 62gr .223), Benchmark(60gr HP or BT .223), H335(55-62gr FMJ .223), & H322(110gr 6.8 only). Thought about getting some Reloader 10 or 15X and give it a try since it does well with the 69gr .223 bullets and the 6.8 110gr bullets from what I hear.

I got to go back thursday and if he still has the other full brick of 41's left I might as well get it to, that'll give me 4K 41's for my 6.8. I shouldnt have to worry about primers for along time since I got 3.8K 7 1/2's for my match loads and 2K CCI 400's for plinking ammo for my .223 as well.

About the Win 748 though, who uses it and whats it good for? In'st it the same as BLC-2 and used for heavy match.223 loads and .308 loads as well. Has anyone had any luck with it using lighter 62gr and under bullets or is it to slow for thoes bullets?

I've used it in lighter 50gr .223. It works fine for p-dog rounds and paper. It's been awhile and I don't remember the exact load. It is close to BLC-2 in burn rate if I remember right. Any loading manual I have looked at has some good recipes. If you look at the "sticky" load charts I think there is also some 748 loads there that were collected by our hardworking moderators.
