One of the boys was going through his GF's stuff/shop, and found the following powders...
2 lbs uncapped IMR 4895
2x partial Alcan AL-7
2x partial Alcan AL-5
1 can AL 120
Seen the 4895 cans before. Never even seen a can of Alcan before. All the opened powder smells cleaner than new! Intend to use it all and svae the cans as collectors.
I had a chance at a couple of cans of AL-7 back in the winter and passed ($9/can). I felt stupid afterwards.
the al-5 and al-7 are good powders, I dunno about the 120 i've never used it.
If you didn't already know you can find Alcan load data on Castpics.net
