Surplus powder

SW 357Mag

Will military surplus 4895 powder yield similar results to commercial IMR and Hodgdon 4895? Just for cheaper plinking loads so it doesnt have to be perfect. Where would I get data for it?

I have used a good bit of it with good success. I use IMR 4895 data. I thought it had dried up. I haven't seen any for awhile.

You can get data here: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp


I also would like to know if there is a source for this powder available.

I just saw it at Widener's but it said 0 in stock. Maybe they don't get anymore. I just assumed they were out temporarily.[:I]

Widener's is out of stock; I and a few buddies of mine went in on an order last fall, when it was nearly dried up. Who knows if/when more will be available?

It is good stuff, I haven't noticed any difference compared to commercial 4895, so if you find it, go for it.
