I have rem, win AA and cheddite hulls on hand and various types of primers.


The powders I have and am wondering about are:

Alcan AL7

Hodgden HS6

Hercules Unique.

Thanks for any info that anyone may be able to point me to.
In what gauges would you be loading? AL7 was a powder for magnum 12 ga loadings back in the day. HS-6 for 1 1/4 ounce 12 ga loads. Unique is a great 20 ga powder. The lightest loadings for Unique in 12ga published by Alliant are 1 1/8 ounce. I have some vintage reloading manuals I rounded up when I was looking for all the old 10ga 2 7/8" recipes.
