No, please - nothing like eric's! It should be a moderated sticky, with no off-topic pictures of pretty flowers, or butterfiles, or sunsets...Just reloading/ammunition data!

I actually have learned quite a bit here about powders [Red Dot, Blue Dot, Green Dot] that I would not have otherwise even considered! Who would have thought that shotgun powder was effective in Lugers???

Hi,

Rather than put everything in a blinder, I think those wanting their own Sticky should have it. This way, readers could follow the author of their choice without becoming confused, as, no doubt, there will be quite a variance of opinion on this topic.

Hi,

Yes, medium/slow burning powders are a key to proper and accurate function.

AA#5 is a fantastic powder for lead bullets!

Well, yes, that's what I had in mind, mean and clean info. I guess to be on the safe side, moderation would be good. Instead of scattered, multiple posts, each contributor would have a single post as his responsibility, containing load recipes/data and comments about them, to edit and maintain. Try a new Powder? Add your description to the original post! Change your mind about a recommendation? Edit the post! How would a big clog of subsequent questions and answers be avoided, so the info doesn't get buried again in its own thread? Some sort of dividing line between info posts and the Q&A, so they stay separate?
