If 2015 is made in Canada shouldn,t it be easier to get than an American or other country powder?

Thanks for the welcome back Calvin.
I've just done a 22lr stint and more than a few times wanted to throw the rifle in the pond.
Sometimes you just have to man up and keep on practicing.
22lr is such a different beast.
I see quite a few shooters also like H322.
I'll probably go with N133 because I know it works,but it never hurts to see what other powders,people are getting good results with.

I use Patch Out.
It is from the same manufacturer,but seems a lot easier than using
the Wipeout.
I put a patch of accelorator down the barrel,then a patch of Patch out.
I let sit overnight.
Run a few dry patches and that's it.
The stuff smells good too.
I've never scrubbed my barrel.

Thanks Rick and Calvin for the advice on the shorter bullets.
I'll look into that.
Does Dan have a contact number or email?
In a trying sort of way I am thrust into a lot of rifle education.
Bullet length, different ogives,J4 jackets,pressure rings,etc. etc. etc.
It's all new to me.
It's all good.
I've never learned anything the easy way..lol

Are you shooting your new gun yet? How is it coming? Are you experiencing the trials tribulations and frustrations of tuning your first 6ppc by yourself or are you fortunate enough to have a mentor shorten up the process?

How about an update?

I'm learning by myself Dwayne.
It would be nice to have a mentor,but I'm walking this one alone at the moment.
I have been frustrated.
As Calvin stated,I was having a hard time seating the bullets to a proper depth.
I am using 68gr. FB custom bullets.
I have shot some of these and the groups are decent.
Then again,as a beginner I am part of the decent equation.
I have loaded for 223 and 6mmbr factory guns and never had a problem.
I now have come to learn my 6ppc chamber is cut as a short chamber and works properly with BT bullets.
Upon discovering this I took a BT bullet and presto,problem solved.
I can load a BT to any OAL..deep...long...it doesn,t matter.
The neck will hold proper tension and I can seat the bullet any where I choose.
Am I pleased in making this discovery.
Not really.
It was a lot of uneccessary trial and error
But I'm a newb and didn,t know better when having this rifle built.
I definitely know better now.
Hello Lester..yes I'd like to try some of your 68gr.BT bullets.
You seem to do well with them.
What? You'd like to build me a 6ppc to my specifications.
Let's talk.

I had posted earlier on about waiting patiently for my 6ppc to be
ready at the gunsmiths and was asking lots of questions about loading for this round
and many of you graciously answered.
I received rifle a few weeks ago and I'm almost up and running.
I needed a bore guide and spoke with Mike Lucas,but he wouldn,t have a run ready till mid April.
Next step was to speak with TK Nolan.
No problem was his reply.I'll make you one up today and ship it out today.
Just send me the money.
"I trust you" he says.
Now I know the TK Nolan bore saver is a chunk of change,but you only live once
and when it arrived,I was very impressed.
TK is 71 and a little hard of hearing,but he's a pleasure to deal with and will talk as long as you have the time.
Next up,sent Walter Harrell some fired cases.
I should have die next week.
Walter is the same as TK.
A voice with a drawl and all the time in the world to talk.
I got 5 lbs. of N133 from Higginsons and a bucket of bullets from
Bill Mitchell,a custom bullet maker,not too far from my home.
I got a Wilson seater from Sinclair.
I've fireformed some of my brass and this weekend will start some actual testing of this rig.
It's going to be a nice warm weekend in Ontario...Yahoo!!!
I've got a lot to learn.
Thanks all for your advice and especially Calvin who took the time to
help me figure out how to load for the 6ppc and also how to  identify various genres of the Wasp species.
Here's a pic of Lil Red.

Come on Bill.. don,t hold back..tell me how you really feel ..lol
Joking aside,I am going to go.
What are the dates?
Or do you have a link I can go to for more info.?
Thanks,
Derrick

I'm going to be meeting up with Joe next week to drop off all the parts
for my rifle.
I'll be asking him some questions for sure.
Today I met up with Rob Mclennan and picked up my barrel.
It was a pleasure to meet Rob and he was gracious enough to
answer my 101 questions.
I asked him how I should break in my barrel.
He replied "Clean after each shot.
I asked"How many times"
He replied " For the first 600 rounds.
We both had a good laugh and I realized what a down to earth guy he was with a great sense of humor..

Thanks Rick and cyanchycki for your help.
I do not have overly easy access to Bergers,but didn,t know that I may be able to get custom bullets here in Canada.
I will explore that avenue.
Understand that I have never competed and have to get up to speed on where I can get  some of my custom supplies. I haven,t even attended  a competition,so I haven,t been able to meet shooters and ask questions.
I think the Wilson inline seating die and Harrels die sound like the way to go.
I have the arbor press and a good single stage press.
Joe Groetch is going to build the rifle for me and he will supply the reamer.
Yes it is a .262 chamber and my brass is at .260....my apologies for not making that clear..
I thought I would use Vihtavuori N133 powder to start.
If I go the Harrels route and the Wilson seater,how do I procede.
I take my new unfired rifle with new unfired brass.
Should I use an expander mandel on the new Lapua brass,before I load it.
How do you fireform your brass?
Do I trim before  fireform?
How do I necksize the cases  for fireforming if if I have to send the fired cases to Harrells first and wait for the die.
If I have to fire the cases several times before sending them off,don,t I have to size them each time I fire them.
God, loading .223 and 6mmbr was like being on Sesame Street.
I admit I am dumb to loading 6ppc,but once somebody sets me straight,I'm good to go.
Thanks for your help.
