kent Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Never use old or unidentified powder. Powder from the past might have the same name might even have a different burn rate than that of today of the same name. It isn't worth the risk, chances are if its old its degraded anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 First glance looks AS, have you got a picture of the tub? Vectan AS comprises square flakes with a pink marker. Definitely not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I tried a couple of loads in 12 bore....21grain powder med primer 28 grams no7 shot seemed to shoot well. Barrels quite clean. Recon i could get about 150 cartridges from it, better than just getting rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
