I was at a auction last week, lots of reloading supply's and bought 15 one lb cans of Hodgdon powder, 3)4831SC,,2)414,,3)4895,2)335,2)varget,3)Titegroup, 8lb jug of IMR 4895,8 lb of WWC846 and a 8lb jug of 5010,,,, my question,,, 5010 is a military surplus powder for use in the 50 BMG, who made it, whats the burn rate, will it match up to any data or who has data for this in anything other that a 50BMG?? or do I have a 8 lb $5.00 jug of firecracker powder???

it is a current milsurplus powder. gi used in 8 different 50 bmg loads. it is available from several milsurplus stores.
the castboolit place is a good place...it is of course mostly cast boolit(bullet) shooting.
if i read the post right ...you bought 8lbs of 4895 and 846 for 5 bucks each ?? ohhh you struck gold!
