    Speed of surplus powders

    First whoever put this section here, its great, I was going to ask for it.


    I am going to buy some surp powder this week, I got a little ca$h on hand. I was wondering if anyone can rate them by burning speed. One site does it, but not the rest.

    If anyone has a list could you share it with me (us)?

    Have you looked at the site, GIBRASS.com, he has a lot of info there on milsurp powders.

    Smile Look at these suppliers for Milsurp

    Jeff Barlett www.gibrass.com

    Pat McDonald http://www.patsreloading.com/patsrel/whatsnew.htm

    HITECH http://www.iidbs.com/hitech

    All three give a relative burning rate/comparable powder for beginning point loading data. I have dealt with HiTech and Jeff Bartlett. Both were very responsive and helpful.

    In fact Jeff recently lightened my wallet significantly! Got in on the 4759 this time, but coulda saved some money if I had bought before he quit paying HazMat fee on case orders!

    That sight has been down for a couple days that I know of.

    This section is a great Idea, and I've looking at buying surplus powders also.
