Suits me ta

Old powder and we also have a thread on wasp nests

@m101a1: Sounds good.

I had some Nobels 80 that I used with cast bullets in a .303, it was a good bulky powder so no chance of a double charge, no idea off the top of my head what load I used, about 10grs rings a bell but it could just be my tinnitus.

I would have shot that 3031. But then, I reuse old primers when I break down ammo too.

Bahahaa we think alike. Amazing how well the old CAC Boxer primers from 1940s still work if the powder was dry. Then the couple of hundred LPP I found rattling around in an old box of crapola I was given from a retiring Pistol shooter. Got quite a few practice rounds from those. Made me do an occasional unforseen mag change or rack and load action but I figured that was what practice was about anyhow..
