Vince Green Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nobel 80 was a good powder, Its what they use in all the Eley cartridges. They stopped selling it in tins and its only available in bulk now. I still have my nobel loading manual. What sort of load are you looking for? 24grains with 1-1/8 oz shot was the standard load. I used nothing else for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Nobel 80 and 82, (and later, Nobel 78) were made specifically for the homeloader; they replaced the old 60 and 62 and before that, the 1, 2 and 4 series. The new 80 series were made 'bulkier'. The 30 gram load, (the then bog standard ELEY GRAND PRIX) used an Eley Surefire primer, 27 grains of No. 80, a one-eighth inch card over the powder, two three-eighth 'Kleena' fibre wads and a one-eleventh inch card* under the shot. This last card was used if shot smaller than No. 6 was used. * spacer or 'filler' card. When the one-piece plastic wad came into play in the early 1970s, it was recommended that the powder charge be reduced by 10% when using them. The Cheddite CX50 primer can be used in place of the Surefire. There are other 'recipes'; just ask.

springerman Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I also have a few tins of both 80 and 82 powder. Can either of these be used to load 28 bore cartridges, and if so, does anybody have any recommended specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 A few tins! Gold dust! There are people who would kill for a few tins of old Nobel powders. Unfortunately the Nobel manual only goes down to 20 bore and doesn't list 28 bore at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Gold dust!!! That's handy - just bought 7KG's of it!! Regards Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I gave some away not long back not thinking i would need it, didn't think half a tin of old powder was worth bothering with. Now you're telling me it's wonderful I have data too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
