Thread: Vintage projectile/bullet box

My original go to powder was Nobels #2. I used that until maybe early 90s. Was able to get it for myself and my rifle club from Belmont who seemed to have a stash for somtime aftet after Nobels closed shop. Eventually they wouldn't sell me any more, stated reason was cans were starting to rust. I had some with minor rust on the rolled seams but inside the cans were perfect.

First Mulwex was 2201 bought off Dinny Collings along with some 4740. Mmmm, maybe circa 1971.

Also used milsurp 4895 from stripped WWII 30-06 rounds. Also used them to make 308 brass. IIRC the 30-06 was selling for 2 cents a round. There was a lot of it around at the time - latest 60s early 70s.

There was also lots of powder of unknown breading around in large canisters that reloaders experimented with. Maybe ex Bofors?
