Re: IMR 4198 And Confusing (to me) Load Data
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2022 5:58 pm
IMR-4759 was not made or available for a whole lot of years. There was a ton of Data available for using it in old Black Powder cartridges and cast-bullet loads, but the powder was not available. I never understood why?
One day, about four years ago, I was at the Williams Gunsight Company's Store. They had a whole shelf full of it, at a good price.
I bought a pound to have it on my reloading shelf for special uses. Now, I've used a bit of it, but don't want to develop any loads with it, because it's no longer available.
These are the times that try men's souls .... Dumbass powder companies keep changing stuff & ownership, discontinue good stuff, make new stuff with no data for old calibers, and charge exorbitant prices!
I blame China, Corporate Greed, 'Brandon' and hoarders!
