If you're mad about this but support ukraine....
Particularly given the duration and level. Nobody should be surprised when theres a proxy meat grinder festival going on over there, that eventually it would contribute to f***ing up commodities globally. Jingocon retards thought Ukraine would be "done" by now but all these billions injected are doing is dragging out a pereptual meat grinding session. When the dust settles this conflict will be viewed as one of the dumbest, most pointless wars ever conducted. Bush Jr will exhale slightly at the end, that's how dumb it is.

How much nitrocellulose goes into an artillery shell?
Army aims to double 155mm shell production by October
But hitting next year’s goal of 100,000 shells per month will require Congress to approve a Ukraine aid bill.

Retard f***bois in the ukraine thread will still cheer it on.

Load up four really hot rounds with it and seriously test your revolvers’ frames.
Come on - you know you want to.
(Yes i AM fully aware of the amount of powder per round - I load 357 and 38).
With 180gr bullets.
there was a banned guy here that used to run these thumpers, he told me he only could run them in his GP100 because they'd wreck a smith or most others. He used them on pins, to decent effect.
With 180gr bullets.
Max load of 4227 and 180's from Missouri Bullet.
Stout is an understatement. Its like proof testing for a 627. Has some oomph in a levergun too. I think the brass stretched.

It's not in the shell, the shell contains TNT or Composition B high explosive.
The amount of propellant used in 155mm artillery shells can vary based on the specific charge selected and the tactical situation. Here are some details about the propellants used for 155mm howitzers:
- M3A1 Propellant (Green Bag):
- Designed for firing charges 1 through 5.
- Contains approximately 5.5 pounds of single perforated neutral-burning powder.
- Flash reducers (containing potassium sulfate or potassium nitrate) are sewn forward of charges 1 (2 oz. pad), 4, and 5 (1 oz. pad each).
- Flash reducers limit breech flare back, muzzle flash, and blast over-pressure1.
- M4A2 Propellant (White Bag):
- Designed for charges 3 through 7.
- Contains approximately 13 pounds of multi-perforated (progressive burn) propellant.
- Includes a flash reducer pad with one ounce of potassium nitrate or potassium sulfate sewn to the base increment1.
- M203 Propellant:
- Zone 8S charge designed to provide extended range for the M198 and M19A5/A6 howitzers.
- Consists of 28 pounds of slotted, stick propellant.
- Fired with specific projectiles, including RAP (rocket-assisted projectiles)1.
The worst part of the situation is, all the powder not used when firing lower charges is burned off at the rear of the guns in a small trench under the direction of the battery XO. I've seen thousands of pounds burned off spending 6 years in the artillery.

Just ordered 6 lbs of TiteGroup, it's my "goto" powder for 9mm.
Called a friend who runs a reloading company as a sideline, he's bringing 2000 rounds of 62grn .223 for me to our multigun match in two weeks.
I've been shooting more rifle lately, (AR-15), but I just don't want to get into loading rifle rounds...

Outsource the brass prep PITA stuff...made all the difference for me. Makes loading 223 easy easy.
I ordered a pretty good supply of Alliant Bullseye and Power Pistol last night from one of my usual mid-size vendors. I pretty much guzzle rifle powders and sip pistol powders, but these are my two favorites- Bullseye for 38 wadcutters and PP for spicy 10mm rounds. Doesn't seem to be a run on this stuff yet- they still have stock. Looks like either MA or their lawyers afraid of MA have changed policy. They used to just ship to me but now require paperwork and LTC image. At least they go to the trouble of that and didn't turn their back on us.
