I've checked around and it looks as though the powder has been purchased from the seller. If that is the case, if one was to see it for sale at a reasonable price, buy it.
The powder can be used in many calibers with very good results.

With many of the 6.5 Jap rifles having a "loose" chamber causing case stretching at the web, do the turned down .303 brass hold up better?

I've been using IMR-7383 RAD78 for ten years now and have a lot of it. There are "the sky is falling" guys who say their rifles have blown up. I've yet to see an actual photo and proof of this happening. The only time I've ever reached a limit was reloading my 8 MM Remington Magnum cartrid...

Years ago when the surplus powder IMR-7383 RAD-78 ( .50 Spotter rifle powder ) came onto the market, I started working up loads for my surplus military rifles and carbines. So far, I've found loads than not only burn all the powder grains, but the loads are accurate at longer ranges. I've been reloa...

I started NEW MEXICO MILITARY SURPLUS RIFLE PISTOL SHOOTERS( NM MILSURPS) back in 1994. Since then we have shot every weekend, 50 a year, at long range. I built stationary and remote control armored targets that ride rail road rails to simulate various targets one might encounter. We are not para-mi...

Next month will be 800 yards if the long range weather says the wind will be calm. We have a windy season here in New Mexico. There is nothing between our range and...

I was at the range this morning. The wind was supposed to be light, it was 15-25MPH. Not the best for 500 meter shooting. The range Albuquerque Shooting Range Park in over 6,500 feet in altitude. Sea level designed sights are always off in the thinner air. I set the sight to 500 yards, the range is ...

I'll be shooting the Krag at 500 meters this Saturday. 185 grain BTHP over IMR-4350. Hoping the rifle does well.
Also 220 grain RNFB as well.

Thank you for the replies.
I do not reload any higher than 7/8 of the max load for any of my rifles. I want the best accuracy and case life.
