I have difficulties finding Varget Powder.... That's what iv been reading, I have yet to reload my first bullet, but the carpenters are coming this Sunday to convert our spare bedroom into a reloading room (wife's not happy about it). I'm just trying to stock up on supplys and waiting for the rest of my equipment to come in.

i saw some primers on the
internet list sale site for
75.00 a box of 1000.
i was still laughing about that
today when i bought a box for
regular price at the retail store.
i didn't look to see if they had
any varget though. . . .

I love pictures of a first time set up as everything is so neat and orderly. Looks great!!
I will NOT take a current pic of mine as I can't actually SEE the bench top thru all the stuff on it. Shameful on my part to say the least.

Glad I'm not the only one with a messy bench. The only thing that is nicely organized is the powder, primer and bullet shelf.

Too neat. Throw a couple of coons in for the night, let them turn it into a real room.  Wish I had taken photos before I lubed my first bullet. Molly Maids could not clean mine.

Cabelas Ft Worth had CCI small rifle primers in stock. Loaded up on some Federal 215 primers myself.

Good score. I picked up some Hogden H4895 at Cabela's in Allen last weekend. No IMR4895 in stock there, however.

Russ- They are similar, but not the same burn rate. You should NOT interchange them. Here is a smokeless powder chart from Hodgdon, it lists powders by burn rate. http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.htmlH4895 is listed as #87, IMR4895 is listed as #89 (Fastest burn rate being #1, all subsequent powders being slower sequentially). H4895 is two positions faster than IMR4895 burn rate wise. Very similar, but not equal or interchangeable.
