I'v about 8lbs of H5010 left, from my 7STW days and I think it's supposed to be similar characteristics...SLOW 50BMG powder.

This powder is military surplus that was sold in bulk from the long gone Talon company. They came in 8 pound jugs with no lot numbers. It breaks down very fast and is extremely volatile. As you know nitro-cellulose uses Nitric Acid to make the propellant. Some how the acid was not neutralized correctly. When the acid is not removed from the powder grains, the deterent coating will break down and uncontrolled burning will happen. The powder may detonate rather than burn.
