a old friend was cleaning out some of his reloading supplies and amoung the powders he gave me was a full can of hodgen h570 powder this is in the old hodgen paper container and the price on the bottom of the can is $1.75 .
does any one know the approx simmilar burning speed to a current powder ? and what calibers it is most usefull in. thanks bob

A slow version of 4831. Could be as slow as 7828, but don't count on it. If the can has a push down metal top, the powder was canned circa 1974. ... felix

I got a can of H570 in the same way. It is old but still good. I understand it is a pretty slow powder. The only problem is that I have no load data for it and would like to find some so that maybe I can use it instead of admiring it on the shelf. Does anyone know anything about this powder?

It is a single base powder. Use H4831 data for starters, and increment upwards. ... felix
