Any interest in old powder? H570

[AnotherCanuck]

Last known manufacture date I can find was the late 70's so she's sat on the shelf for a few minutes.

I got a couple pounds from an older gentleman. I have no particular use for it beyond fertilizer, but it smells viable, and was stored very well.

Far as I can tell it's in the RL22 burn rate area, might have been designed as ww2 50bmg powder? I don't know, just repeating what I read on the internet (always dangerous). Maybe some of you have data for it still, I've yet to dig into the old reloading manuals I acquired.

As part of the same batch I got a few other powders in cool cans and can post some pics later if anyone is interested. The sport is the poorer for not continuing to use the old can styles - damn they look cool.

It is a very, very slow powder. I used it to load 50 BMG. I tried it in a 6.5-06, but it was too slow.

There might be some big magnums that it would be good for.

Basically the same burning rate as old H870, but not a ball powder.
I have used it a long time ago in the 264 Win Mag and the 257 Weatherby mags.
It is quite bulky, so you need room in the case for enough to attain speeds.
It is cleaner burning than is H870. Dave.

I have used H570 in the BMG. Was decent powder. Way cleaner than H870. Still have a few Lbs of H870 for the 264. But the newer powders seem to be better like N570.

Used it in my STW's at one time. As mentioned, a very slow powder. - dan

Ahh yes - I have a pound of this "Orphan" powder. Practically the same Burn Rate as H870 and H5010, but as mentioned a stick powder. I miss H870 (of which i still have about 3.5 lbs), but H50BMG does about what H570 and H5010 did.
