Anyone know of an IMR 4996 powder that was used in the 1940's and 50's? CRaig | ||

4895 was the principal IMR extruded powder used in military ammo in the '40's and 50's. Never heard of IMR 4996. It is not on any government ammo loading table I have ever seen, nor does it appear on any burning rate chart. "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

El Deguello Agree. And, it seems to me that 4831 came along shortly after. Never heard of 4996 though. Don | |||

Ok, how about a Hercules double-base powder 3872.3D from the same time period? | |||

My reference material also refers to EX 4996 propellant, which I assume was the experimental name for what came to be as IMR 4996. | |||
