Surplus powder

[1000yards]

Have a jug (or two) of this powder. River Valley Ordnance, Harvester,Mo. Anyone have any load data on this? I have a bunch of fire-forming to do and hoped to use this up, so precise data is not needed. It will be a mild load. Thanks for any input!

It would have been nice, had they supplied the military spec numbers! Hopefully, someone has experience with these folks and this powder! Good luck ! memtb

Thanks all! I took a chance at 50 gr for a bunch of 168 gr bullets I had and the fire forming is going fantastic. No pressure signs and seems to be moving the brass where it should be.

Ball. Thanks for the info below. I bet we could have some fun together!

I got lucky a number of years ago and got a few 8 lbs jugs CHEAP of pulled down from M2 ball ammo that was stick powder IMR 4895. It shoots within what a normal lot number change of current production powder is.

I am guessing this is close (enough) to 4831. Either way it is working great for what I needed!
