Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

FYI---Powder Valley still has Data Powder 85 listed for sale at $69.95/ 8#. For those useing any of the 4350s or 4831s it's a great buy. roger

Hi Bartsche, in your opinion what is the burn rate of DP 85? I load for alot of 270's and a couple of 243's.
