Herter's Perfect Rifle powder 101,102,103?

[Montana Silver]

Hi, looking for any load data for these powders, just got a box with many unopened cans.
Thanks

I suggest you check the condition of the powder. Open a can, pour some into a open container, and check for red dust, acrid smells, clumps, and any other signs of deterioration. This powder, if its from the original Herter's mail order operation, could be around 50 years old. Powder, when stored in a cool, dry place, can last an amazingly long time. Hopefully that will be the case here.

From a historical aspect, I just looked the subject powders up in my 1969 Herters catalog # 79
back then they sold for $2.30 / pound. Or $21.00 for 10 one pound cans in a case. They also have some (a few) suggested loads for various cartridges.
I've had this catalog for almost 45 years, knew it would come in handy sooner or later. I wonder if they will still honor the $.40 refund check they sent me?
