Wish it was available to me. I’d buy 20 pounds and not look back. It’s not a problem to work up a safe load with unknown powder, you just approach the situation methodically while taking precautions.

It is a ****-shoot! I've purchased a lot of 9MM brass on here and other sites. I shoot it in a Glock with a custom barrel and usually leave it where it falls. Some people pick it up, and RE-use it...

Hey guys,
I've got a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag. That has just quit, feeding. The elevator won't go all the way up, and so the cartridge hangs on the breech face.
