Yesterday morning, before I was really wide awake,there came a knock on the door. Turned out to be a casual acquaintance bearing a deal for me. Ok, been there, seen the deal, butt still hurts from the last one. But, can't hurt to hear him out.
Deal turned out to be a BIG box full of smokeless powders in mostly unopened cans. Some of it dates back to when the various IMRs could be had for $4.49/lb. One big (8#)canister right in the center with no markings on it but I will deal with that later.
There is B'eye, Unique, 452AA, 473AA, 4-5 varieties of IMR and 4 of Hodgdon. Pics when I get the time.
Between the full and partial cans there is somewhere very close to 19#. If I can figure out what the mystery powder(MP) is that brings it up to 27#. Four full cans of B'eye in there, the last I bought was a little over $26 with tax. Right there more than pays for the lot of it.
The MP is dead ringer, appearance-wise, to IMR-4320. However it is roughly 20% heavier, by volume, than 4320. So, the search shall continue. I haven't tried visual comparisons of ever other powder I have on hand. That will be a long process so will probably wait until next week.
Now I just need to see several cases of primers fall off a truck.
