Guys,

Been burning the old Hercules 2400 and is almost gone. Have a couple of pounds of Alliant 2400 to work on next.

Anyone notice any significant difference between the old and new stuff ... beyond lot to lot variation?

Thanks,

I didn't see any difference.

That is a good question. Most everybody says the newer 2400 is a little faster than the 0ld 2400.

However some report no differences...

I am still using 2400 I bought in 1993.

You guys do not laugh... I am using Unique I bought in 1981...

Both powders still push the bullet out of the barrel... Most of the time.

N E 450 No2,

I do understand. I think the old 2400 is that old ... just abt out of it though. I have green dot, herco and unique that old. Still burns fine.

Best to rechrono some test loads before doing a full run of subs I think.

Thanks!

Well it might be a while before I need to worry about it, I just opened up an 8#'er from '93 myself, and am only using it in cast revolver loads. So far the heaviest charge has been 16grs.

I might grab up some of the newer stuff to be there when it's gone though. Never know how the folks on the hill might change things.

mstarling, I have noticed no difference. I have gone through the same change as you very recently. The difference from lot to lot is still there, so buy in bulk and have fun!
