    Powder?

    The DA primers are great. Any chance we could get some surplus powders for reloading to go with the primers? I'd expect it would be a big seller.

    That's good to hear. We need a reliable non-US source of powder and reloading components. IMO we are too dependant on the US for our shooting supplies and unfortunately the US isn't as reliable as they once were.

    Agreed. Would love to buy powder if it was available. It is so hard to get your hands on the good American stuff.

    How would we know what measurement to use? all of my reloading books only give me info on locally available powders?

    Load it until your gun explodes and then tell us how much that was and we'll use a little less. :-p

    The internet will provide a base like. Plenty of foreign information sources available. Start low and work up to pressure signs. No different then standard reloading practise
    There's Mil-spec, and then there's Gunnutz-spec.
    One is stringent, the other contains nuts.

    Use it the same way we use other surplus powders that aren't listed in the commercial reloading books. This isn't a new concept.
