    That is not a powder you can buy. It is a bulk powder the factory uses and may change from time to time. You can by "canister" powders which are different.

    I suggest you do not try to match it to any canister powder because the factories do not use them
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          Here's a slough of powders to look at. If it is made for resale, it's in there

            ^^^^ Like I said the factories do NOT use a powder that is for sale to the public.

              Saw a funny post in another reloading group. Had a picture of the guy's wife and the caption was "Guess what honey? I was able fit all those small cans of powder into the one big container!"

                Thanks for all the info. I think I may try 20/28 and work up to see what I get.

                  I could actually see that happening.
                  That's why nobody but me has the key to the powder cabinet.

                  Back when my son was still a know-nothing teenager, he and my wife were working in the garage one day.
                  I popped in to see what's doing to find a full trash can and my wife explaining, "We threw out some of YOUR stuff that you weren't using".
