H5010 question
I have a sealed 1# container of H5010 that I've had for years. Now I see Hodgdon has de-listed it.

I'd appreciate hearing form anyone who has used it and can tell me where I can get some load data for various calibers.

Any info on H5010 will be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks

    .243, 46 gr.,100gr. psp., 2430fps.

    That's about all I can give you. I used it with good results on a .25-06IMP and a 6mm-.270 IMP but that was prior to computer days and my record keeping was not the best but in those to small bore large capacity cartridges it was right up there. It should be good for the medium bore ultra mags I would think.

    Experimenting with it and 5020 in duplex loading damaged a couple of my rifles.

    I have around 28 different loading using H-5010...from .243 to .511.

    It would help if oyu told us what particular caliber.
