I got me some new equipment over that last few days. A new rcbs rockchucker supreme, rcbs chargemaster lite, and a comparator set. I've also been lucky enough to find some bl-c2 and imr 4895 in the last couple weeks so i ran all new ladder tests for my 308 and 5.56. I put a new ballistic advantage 1x7 barrel on my ar so hopefully i get atleast a couple groups worth looking at.

Get a chance to test out any of the loads? I had 8lb of BLC-2 and a few 1lb IMR4198.. I traded them away, I'm more of a ball powder type of guy. I really like H335 (WC844) in both .308/5.56. I've loaded a fair amount of 2495. It's always just seemed to get the accuracy and velocity anywhere near what I get from ball powders, I'm cramming like 110% Fill in the cases. I also noticed with 2495 I wouldn't always have full burn and get a funky smell.. Could've just been the batch I had, but I used it up and haven't gone back to stick powders..
