Brian bought a case of the vintage ammo some years ago along with an early M29 to demonstrate the infamous 600 yard Elmer Keith shot. The story appeared in Handloader.
No one doubts what the article says. It says what it says. It is in print. We can see that. BUT, where did he get his information? If he had a case of vintage ammo did he have any pressure tested?
I'd imagine he did, since he has bothered pressure testing, in a lab, 2400 powder from old stocks of the 60s and 70's to recent manufactured 2400 regarding loads in 38-44, 357, 41 Magnum, 44 Special and 44 Magnum.
It's not like his recommended load reductions were half-assed guesses; but then again, many have actually read his information....
