Surplus Powder

[recumbent]

Anyone ever use #105 or IPP powder for 38 spl/357 mag??

here's a link to the powder:

I've used his military surplus rifle powder over the years with good results.
He's only 30 miles from me so I can pick it up and save shipping.

Thanks,

Bob

Just found GIbrass and his powder. Good to hear you have had good results. I may pick up a can for all my milsurp stuff. Prices sure are right!

I used the original AL5 in 38 Special with H&G #73 SWC - it was my best load back then. Don't know about #105 tho.

That is a great price compaired to Unique.

The "Herco data" powder is a heckuva deal, though I've never used any....tempting

I have never tried #105 but have used his WC-820 with great success in .357, .41, and .44 mag loads. At one time I tried developing a .38 +P load with 160 gr LBT cast bullets and WC-820 and it was a bit inconsistent unless the air temperature was hot (>85 oF). I never got any squibbs but you could hear shot to shot variability.

keep in mind that 105 doesnt meter that well so its not a great powder for a progressive press.
