Top rule of thumb for handloaders: Do not ever identify any powder visually. Winger Ed is correct, pout it out and move on.

Having worked in a steel casting and investment super alloy casting facility, have a little experience with this. We would cover the induction furnace when melting steel and then introduce Argon but...

Win 571/HS-7

Local shop I stop in now and then had a screen showing whole sale pricing on primers. Most every size and type available.

Rem basically $95/1000, Win $75.00/1000. Let them sit, wait for the pipe...

Nosler manuals for years lister SR 4756 as most accurate in 115 grain bullet. Works great in .357 too. Natoreloading said it was the powder to use in 9mm before being dropped from production. My...

Using Herco for 9mm loads and been very pleased with it. Will need older Speer manuals for load data. Until recently, Herco was regularly encountered and a good value because a group of hand...

In an auction won a little powder. The can of Dupont 4350 stated lot #77.

My knowledge of powders in leading me to conclude this is 1940's production and the can is nearly full and plan on using...

Won a local auction and included was WC 852. Not sure what lot# but there is 2 pounds and looks good to use.

Anyone used it in 30-06 .308 Win? Suggested grain weight for starting?

Thank you.

There are new carbines being manufactured but don't pass up on Universal M 1's. Made in Florida, the early 80's production is very good, perhaps another option.

2 year ago on Good Friday was my rather serious 7 hour operation. Actually selected that day as a great day to to be healed I thought. I'll add you and your wife to my morning prayers.

Tin is believed to reduce the grain size of the alloy allowing for better flow of metal and the filling of smaller, sharp details, simplified version. One of the reasons Linotype cast details so...

The issue here is canister powder vs. non-canister powder the OEM's have access to. May only be able to get close to a 100% ID but doubtful a 100% ID. Start low, work up slow and use common sense.

Working for a company that designs and builds custom machines for a variety of operations allows me to comment a bit on this. Working on the design side of the business this is a great idea however...

In today's market a hand-loader might want to be flexible in regards to what components they "like/only use/must have" when replenishing inventory and appreciate what they can find and not what they...

NEVER sift powder to separate by type!!! Not worth the RISK at all. Be thankful more wasn't lost. Injury is far more costly than a little powder even these days.

AA#7 works well too especially in the short barrels...

See if you can locate some real lead flux, Marvelux or Frankford Arsenal CleanCast Lead Fluxing Compound(Midwayusa.com Product #: 593033). These fluxes truly remove slag and other contaminates.

Thank you for all those offering help. There are Nosler books on the shelf that reference HS7...The Winchester Reloading Components manual #1 is on myself for shotgun...

G W Wade, thank you for the reminder.....

Hello,

Have 8 pounds of of Win 571(in metal containers) and would like to use it. Has anyone used it, if so what handgun cartridges did you use it and how well did it perform?

Thank you,

Drop it and listen for it to ring, hard lead has a ring to it and soft lead just a thud. This is not a true test for lead content but may indicate if it is Linotype.

In my reading over the years OEM's will use the lowest cost powder for the job at hand. They will adjust the load based on the characteristics of the powder once tested and go from there. Never...

2-3% tin is a good mix for most alloys we use. Tin in Lead is a grain refiner, creates smaller and more uniform size grain when solidifying allowing for smaller details to fill out. Tin does harden...
