burn rate Nobel 80 powder


Recommended Posts

Anyone here remember the burn rate of the old Nobel glasow 80 powder

I seem to recall the late great David Garrard who i was in constant correspondence with back in the early eighties and was always very patient and forthcomming with help and advise to my constant barrage of questions

that Nobel 80 had a burn rate that was simmlar to red dot or unique I can't remember which one now 

I.ve been given 5 sealed tins that are in perfect condition and I would like to try a little expermentaion and work up some loads using modern primers and wads 

I seem to recall my pet load for this powder back in the day was 24 grains of nobel 80 a mk3 plaswad and ounce and 1/8 of shot i seem to recall this load was a copy of the old eley Olympic trap load it smoked everything from fur to feather and was fantastic on the Clays as well
