The 52gr Speer Silver Match From Don / BL-C(2) Vs. Varget In 223 Remington

[@andyprairiedog]

Operation: Primer Search is what goes on when I drop one. Cleaning of the bench floor also ends up happening. I like the way you "seasoned" the powder dipper to prevent the sticking. I like my Satern aluminum powder funnels. The pouring powder sounds nice and sits a little steadier on the case mouth. I still have and use my free Lee red funnel. I need to try some Varget in the future. Good stuff to try out, DR. Thank you for bringing us along.

I lost that one and found another! The ebb and flow of the primer stash. There's usually one or two hiding down there. Those funnels look pretty nice, haven't seen those before. Varget is great stuff, but the price hurts. Thanks!

​@@DummyRound10 months later im just watching this...some super fan i am huh! Lol Man im sorry this has been a bad year for me and the wife, 5 months ago we lost one of our daughters to ovarian cancer and i haven't been the same or done much of anything but work eat supper go to bed & repeat. The varget didnt do so well i see. I was using a Savage mod.10fp 24" bull barrel 1&9 twist. Any day on the range bad group or not is a good day. Hope your doing well, love your videos brother keep up the great work! Don

[@DummyRound]

Hey, brother, no worries! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Life is way more important than watching some jackass on the internet. Thanks again for sending those in. They were a lot of fun to try out. Stay strong! 💪👍🇺🇲

[@Don.E.63]

@@DummyRound Thank you my friend!

[@waterishdrake8693]

Good idea is to mark your calipers with a sharpie. I only put on small line on the top that way you know you’re putting all your rounds in the same spot and get more accurate measurements.

[@DummyRound]

Great tip! I have the comparator set now, but I'll have to give that a try🇺🇲👍

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

I love the 52 grainers and use in my bench setup….. I use the berger FB and SMK with benchmark. Ive had really great groups with vitavorhi n133….. super super accurate for me

[@DummyRound]

That is awesome! I want to try both of those powders, eventually.

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

@@DummyRound benchmark is the stuff man if you can grab some get it! You will LOVE it!

[@DummyRound]

@@Marcus2750-u1t I will, but my wallet will hate it. Saw some for $53 yesterday at the shop. I guess that's about the going rate these days, anyways.

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

@@DummyRound it is sadly I bought 8 lbs last year for 300 bucks and been sipping off it slowly lol

[@DummyRound]

@@Marcus2750-u1t 8lbs for $300 sounds like a steal haha

Those silver bullets to me back in time. Are you too young to remember the Lone Ranger :-))

Way before my time

I heard of a vacuum having a dusty day after finding a live primer..

[@DisgustedGenXr]

Definitely Need a nickel case for that Dummy Round

[@DummyRound]

I didn't even think of that!

[@DisgustedGenXr]

I will send it. I have 1. Lol

[@DummyRound]

Haha I have a few set aside so no worries. Going to make some sexy 300blk some day.

[@DisgustedGenXr]

@@DummyRound i have 1 .300 BLK and 1 - .308. I made a keychain for my wife with a nickel projectile with a clear blue tip. (From the American Reloading premium pack). Ill send a couple of those too

[@DummyRound]

@@DisgustedGenXr that's cool, I was wanting to do some keychains at some point.

[@tacticalrabbit308]

The primer misshap made me laugh out loud

[@DummyRound]

Ha, glad you enjoyed that.

[@jamespollard1670]

I have some 75 gr match bullets to try out when I get the time .

[@DummyRound]

Sounds like some fun!

[@hawkeyecooper1794]

Boolets look like James Calhoon slick silver out of harve

[@armedfarm3429]

Why did you use such slow powders? Makes no sense. Use some AA 2015, AA 2230 or h 322, H 335 on the slow end.

[@DummyRound]

I understand what you're saying, but I was using loads suggested by the gentleman that sent the projectiles👍🇺🇲

[@armedfarm3429]

Thats why they are all over an inch. You want under a minute or over? IDC@@DummyRound

[@DummyRound]

I was just having fun with a safe charge suggested by the guy that was nice enough to give them to me. I'll probably try the 52gr FB they are currently producing at some point. Thanks.

[@DMHal01]

You can go safely to 28gr if you’re running a 5.56 NATO chamber or 223 Wylde chamber. I have thousands of the 52gr BTHP w cannelure and they shoot well at 2900 fps from a 14.5” with BLC2 so I don’t know what this dude above is talking about.

[@DummyRound]

Some people just really like things done their way, I guess
