ok is this
Reloading Yoda does!
Cool ol can o powder.
Dont know searched a little and found evidence that proves them to be different powders. Funny thing is I talked to guy today that mentioned Herco powder but don't think it's the same thing either. Wonder how old that stuff is.
Nothing wrong with powder that has Herculese on the can, I use it all the time.
but do u see that it says rifle powder. that's the part that freaks me alittle. I have 4 pounds of this
Yep.. The paper cans were on the sales shelf's well into the 90's
If the powder smells sweet, its fine..
I still have pounds of powder in square metal cans from my grandfather's.
And it's still fine..
I use it for my light .35 Remington loads. Works great in .357 mag and .45 colt too. Unique is good for some light rifle loads as well. Gallery Loads as they used to call them.
Stay on the lower side of any published loads from newer manuals. Start in the middle range and work your way up slowly. When Alliant took over they changed the formulation very slightly.
