See you in the field!

You are correct about the 7625 , if I'd had my wits about me at the time I should have bought every 8 pounder I could get !

I think the one I have now I got from one of our distributers for $160-170 . Someone just last week sold an 8 pounder on this website for I think it was $275 .

SUPPOSEDLY Hogdon has brought out a ball powder called W572 that's supposed to be a close replacement for 7625 , once I can get some from my distributers I'll give it a try and if it does as well as the claims I'm hearing I'll have to lay in two 8 pounders for my 10's . Seems the majority of my loading these days is for the short 10's anyway !

I just started shotshell reloading. Loaded for my 45 ACP for a few years and just bought a AH Fox Sxs and am hooked. These are the first off my press. Going to try them tomorrow at the local range. 2 1/2 12 gauge with 700x. 7/8 shot. image.jpg.

It looks like it's closer to 4756 than 7625. Looks like to me a good 10 gauge powder.
