473aa

[sundog]

I see you fellers have been jawin' over 452AA, in the other thread.

Well, I think I know where there's some 473AA to be had, for getting it gone, (maybe). Enough to be worth bothering with. This was a good 12 ga powder. Hope it's still good. I suspect it will be.

Question is, how many of you have used it in handgun? Specifically 45 acp. Burn rate should be close to WSL which is close to AA5 and HS5 which are both very useable in the 45.

If I were to break out some of my old next to nothing in cost primers, some of my no cost world famous .45 boolits (moulds were more than paid for eons ago and the lead is free range scrap), some very well used cases that I got for nuthin'..., that's what I'd be shootin' fer. Nuthin'. Don't get any better than that!

Dog, I tried that stuff a long time ago in a 45 but don't remember how much or how it did. I also tried WSL. I still have most of the cans left so I must not have been too impressed with it either. I just use it in shotgun shells when I reload those, which isn't very often. Bob

Sundog,

I thought I used some 473AA in 45acp but couldn't find it in a quick look through my reloading notes. I do know my 29-2 likes it a lot with a 240 boolit (429421)but I unfortunately have used up all I had.

Thanks, fellers. If nothing else, that's where it'll get used - shotshells. Free is good enough!

Is there some arcane method for getting tables to copy properly from either Word or Excel?

[Ricochet]

There is a "code" command in HTML that can be used for setting up tables that won't distort with changes in fonts and screen widths, but I don't know the syntax off the top of my head. Google up pages on HTML and you'll find it.
