As discussed before, I'm trying to ID some powders I extracted from some ammo I scrounged off of the ground at IDPA Nationals this year. I AM NOT GOING TO USE THIS POWDER.
These 3 pics show what I think is the same powder. A fine black ball powder.
It has got to be medium/slow:
In .40 S&W the load was 6.1 grains under a 180.
In 9mm a common load was 5.3 grains under a 147.
in 45 the load was 8.3 grains under a 200.
It is NOT WSF.
I'm thinking it is probably HS-6. Does anyone have some HS-6 around to compare to these pictures?
Thanks,
