    Here is an older thread about it.

    Quote: "DuPont Pistol Powder No. 6 generally between Bullseye and Unique for most pistol loads from 30 luger to 45 colt."

    Which cartridges would you like to reload with it? I have several old editions of the Lyman / Ideal manuals that list loads for Dupont #6. (I have a bit of it too and have used it to load some "vintage" reloads for a Colt double action revolver in .32-20 WCF.)
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
