Alliant vs Hodgdon

[Mr. 16 gauge]

I will continue to use the safe loads developed in the 1960s and 1970s.

Me too, Adam.....I still have my Lyman 2nd Edition shotshell manual....not much useful data in there anymore; a lot of powders have been discontinued, such as the Alcan lot, and the only shell still being made in there is the Federal Hi-Power shell w/ paper base wad.

Still, one might stumble on a deal....took a gun to the gunsmith the other day and saw that he had to full boxes (2000) of CCI #57 primers....remember those? Now, if I can just find a bunch of the old Remington hulls, I'll be all set!
