NormanConquestWC872 Powder
My preacher buddy was just given 2- 8 lb. kegs of this powder from a parishioner whose son was a reloader but passed away. I am not familiar with this powder. Does anyone have any info on it +/or loading data?

RapidrobIt is made for the .50 BMG round. It is very slow burning.
It would be OK for an overbore magnum caliber with a heavy bullet.

georgeldVery likely will result is slower
velocity loads too.
That's what I found using 1000 in .300Win/m's.
Worked fine, just slower than 4831 or 4895.
Good luck,
George

StonecreekIt is my "go to" powder in a .264 Winchester. It would work well in a 7mm STW, 7mm Ultramag, probably some of the small caliber/large case Nosler line of cartridges, and the smaller bore Lazzaronis. I found it a bit more consistent than WC 860 (at least in the lots I have used). Of course, there is no published data for it so you are completely on your own in creating a safe and useful load. Also, be aware that surplus powders can and do vary from lot to lot somewhat more than canister grade powders.
