That's a far cry from "if you can't find the powder listed..."
Truth time:
Full quote from LR 1955:
Quote:We thought Reloader 10X would be the 'Unicorn' powder as well. It is dangerous in the Grendel with bullets over about 85 grains.
The pressures will go up dramatically when you reduce the neck size and you are reducing the neck size significantly if you go from a 6.8 or .30 caliber down to a 6.5.
If you can't find this powder listed in any of the numerous loading manuals for the Grendel, you best stay away from it.
He said both, and the qualifier indicates the advice is cautionary with two parts. LR55's experience is extensive, and experienced reloaders err on the side of caution, especially with powders that tend to produce high velocities with low charge weights.
His second post acknowledged that reliable and credible information has surfaced that at least partially overrides his first cautionary comment.
General comment:
[INDENT]Quoting out of context can be dangerous and lead to untoward responses by a lot of folks. This forum is dedicated to honest exploration of ideas and experiences. It is OK to question, but make sure you have your facts straight before asking for clarification.
Above all, do not make disparaging remarks, especially when quoting out of context and making the earlier poster seem to be less than honest.[/INDENT]
