I have found the same thing. Faster powders = less recoil and better tracking.

Although not a 7mm SAUM, I did an interesting comparison with 2 308 barrels at a 2000 round count. The barrels were one serial number apart, same profile, twist, finished length, crown and chamber.

It can be left in the bore between weekly shoots but I wet patch then dry patch prior to shooting. Bor...

Nice app. It does make the Labradar a lot more user friendly. I use it with a Samsung S8. No dramas.

Hi Lonranger Thanks for your reply. Do you have a trickler you use for yours? I am thinking of getting either the Auto trickler by Adam Mcdonald or the Dandy Omega trickler.

Beware of those moisture absorbing tubs. Some can promote rust. Powder will be fine as it comes with the lid firmly tightened. Primers seem to last ok just in a dry cupboard in original packaging. I think cold wet climates are worse than Hervey Bay. I'd be more worried about salt air causing corros...
