olafpfj - If you are ever down in Houston send me a PM. I am out of 4895, but have 4064 that I run in my Garand. Would be happy to trade you a pound of that for a pound of that 335 you have. 48 gr behind a 150 gr bullet reasonably replicates M2 ball ammo and works with the standard gas plug.
I'm out of 335 and would like to load a few more .375 win for a contender.

Just ran 250rds of 223 using 55gr Hornady PSP over 24.7gr of H335 for my AR. Ran out of bullets and am waiting for some decent plinking bullets to come back in stock.
Trying out some heavier 65gr Sierra's for my CZ527 in 223. Found a few recommendations to try 24.5gr of H335 on this load.
Totally dead in the water on 303 british, 7.5 Swiss and 30-06 for my Garand until IMR4895 or H4895 becomes available again next century.
Thinking of working up a load for 9mm using Berry's 115gr and Titegroup.
I have 1.25lbs of Titegroup that my dad gave to me awhile ago and 8lbs of H335...and that's it If it isn't a load that uses those 2 powders I'm flapping in the breeze until the powder drought is over

I have ran a few thousand berrys 135's with TG @ 1.15 [abbreviated profanity deleted] a super soft bunny fart load. Add a few tenths for 115's and you have a good place to start, little snappier once you work it up. I liked TG for a while in my limited .40 rig, but shooting fast really heats it up and seems a bit on the dirty side. I switched to WSF and it is a ton cleaner, but feels like TG to me,(close on the burn scale) without the excessive heat build up.
Cabelas had WFS in stock the other day and I grabbed 5 lbs from poweder valley a few motnhs back. Luckily it is powders and primers are starting to fill the shelves again. I just need to order more Bayou Bullets.
I set my press up to load some 300 ultramag and I got stuck. Need to load some other calipers but I have to finish loading these up first. Can't decide on a powder charge, nothing seems to be as accurate as I want.

Unfortunately I have to run what I have on hand so it's nothing but titegroup for a while. I'm a little shy about starting 9mm since I would be putting them through my pricey Sig226. I haven't been shooting that particular pistol for quite some time because of the ammo drought and I'm feeling like I'm getting unfamiliar with it. It's the household nightstand gun and my wife and I should both be shooting it regularly. Granted she scored a 239 recently on her CHL qualification shooting it cold after not handling it for well over a year. I don't know...I'm paranoid I'll mess up my dream gun...
I spose I should just put on my big boy pants and get to it.

I loaded up a box (50) of .45-70 on Sunday (300gr Sierras over an intermediate load of 4198 - higher than IMR's trapdoor, but not quite marlin level) to take up and plink feral pigs next month. The rifle is fine with loads all the way up to max levergun, but I'd just as well not punish myself that much.
And as soon as I say that, today I loaded up a very small batch of 240gr XTPs over H110 for my 629 to sit next to me while plinking said pigs. It normally eats a much lighter Trail Boss & lead diet. Plenty accurate and /much/ more fun to shoot. I've got a few hundred of those waiting for targets. I kinda want to see what one will do to an old pie melon or horse apple.
Well, we got to try my reloads this week on more than paper. It's safe to say that they are more than plenty for Texas hogs. I'm going to lower the loads down more the next batch. These make a mighty big hole on the way out. I suppose that there really isn't anything wrong to keeping to the Trapdoor loadings ;)
