I have a old oan of dupont 6251 powder from an estate sale.Can anyone tell me what the powder was used for? Pistol or rifle loads? The power is really old but still sealed and I would like to reload with it if it fits any of my recipies or at least try it out on a few loads.Cant find any info on the internet for it.
Thanks
Thanks

As stated why risk you life over 20 bucks worth of unknown powder?
I would not even consider using that powder for anything other than lighting the trash on fire. If there is no information on the internet that can be found then you can pretty much bet it is not intended for you to load and shoot in a gun.

Agreed,
It isn't like old powders had anywhere near the useful properties of todays powders. That's a lot of better performance AND insurance.
