H116 Looking for experiences with this powder
« on: May 12, 2009, 05:27:26 AM »
 Ok Boys ,


   I have a chance to get some 8 pound jugs of this H116 for a pretty good price ... What is this being used for ? Some info i surfed on the net leads me to its uses with the 7.62x39 caliber .. Which i do reload ... Any other data you might have on this powder would be helpful..

 
   Thanks in advance ,

This is from Hodgdon. It was sold in 2004 for a limited time. It was surplus powder.
I have no experience with this powder. This is just what a neighbor uses and had Hodgdon send him the data....

Contact Hodgdon for data, if they have it, they'll share it.  ;)
