Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile. Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe) Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

I called Hodgdon about 4955 last week. They said it hasn't been released yet. I found the other two on store shelves when I was traveling to PA last week but no 4955. It looks to be about 4831 burn rate. I really want some for the 25 Bob loads I'm dreaming up. I did score some 7977 that will be stuffed into 270 win with 150 Noslers some time after deer season. I'm hoping to get enough into the case to make it work as advertised. Drop tube might be in order........ Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
