    Alcan AL-7

    I have recently been gifted (???) a small can of Alan AL-7 powder and I have no info or experience with it. I load for standard pistol and want to know if I can use it.

    Lyman Handgun Loading Manual dated 1978 lists ALCAN powders.

    Also, the PO Ackley manual has some ALCAN listings.
    Not having any luck loading the file. Send a PM with your e-mail addy and I will send it to you.
