Dave at kelton Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 See attached extract from Alan Myers catalogue of perhaps 35 years ago. I favour AO in the ten. I did have some loads proofed at the time using A1 and was recommended not to use under any circumstances. i assume you have managed to find a nice one?
