I know it's a long shot, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask...
Does anyone have any experience with Argentine made powders? Made specifically by Fabricaciones Militares (FM), Argentina? Well, I am beginning to load my own, and much to my disapointment this is the only powder brand I can find (hint:I am not in the good ol' USA
), so all those nifty reloading tables that are found in my american reloading manuals are of no use. As far as I know the only loading manuals that are current are made in the USA (and cover only the most popular powders used in the USA).
I do have some basic info to start on, provided on their website, but reliable indepth knowledge is really lacking. Hell, they list the primer used in testing as the Berdan type. Don't really know why they used that type since the factory loaded ammo they sell is Boxer primed. Wrote to the factory and am still awaiting on their reply as to reference literature. In the meanwhile any pointers would be welcome.
