From P 1
This is also because the burn-rate (slightly faster than H4350/IMR4350) is suited to so many cartridges.
This ^^ is the reason I haven't used any Big Game.
In another thread I posted a very similar pic of this empty can.
Before these political "panic shortages" I began stocking up on components when the price of powder went to 15-16 $ per pd.
I began buying more than I needed before the price got ridiculous.
The # 1 on the cap & can indicates the first lot of new powder I bought.
That lot # is E940C19 over L6564
I just dug around thru my graphing notebooks and found that 1997 was when I bought & graphed that lot.
I have several pounds of IMR 4350 * and * a few years back I bought 4 lbs. of H 4350.
I am still good.
I've enjoyed this thread, learning about Big Game. Good Luck Guys
