Alcan Powder

Loaded Alcan #5 and #7 years ago . Blooper loads every time it rained. I hated that powder never stored well for me but I just finished up loading a few Alcan MAX-FIRE 209 primers in a AA trap load they still went bang after sitting around for 50 years.

I reloaded 38 Spl with AL 5 for years.
Worked great!

I have a couple pounds of al-5, and I plan to use it in my 38/357.
Would you share your data? (I have searched online and found loads, however I like to compare, in case someone erred in their listing)
I have found Alcan powder in estate sales and gun shows over the years. Its mostly for shotguns but some have handgun applications. ht tps://www.scribd.com/doc/33509256/Alcon-Mid-60s-Reloaders-Manual
I have followed these loads and have had success.

This is the first time I see this brand, but I do know that ALCAN made reloadable shot shells.
That looks as old as me . or older LOL . I hope it works out for you .
