Hi all my fellow reloaders, I hope you are all having a great Friday. I recently ran across a lot of powder at my local shop that was from a estate sale. Being a avid 300 blk reloader, I bought all the H110 and a old metal can of Win296 from 1977. All the powder was either new or barely used and has been kept well all these years. I’ve run into some old timers that tell me win296 of old days compared to now is much different and I should be very careful loading 300 blk with it due to no load data for it and because it is more sensitive to reduced loads than the modern stuff. Now, I don’t load bunny fart 300 blk loads, I have dialed my H110/296 loads to 20 gr with 110 vmax, 110 Barnes tac tx, 110 Sierra v-hp, and achieve 2270-2300 fps ish from a 10.3” ss ballistic advantage Hanson barrel so they are solid hunting loads and not reduced by any means. My question to you guys that we’re reloading back in them days( I was born in 77)is 296 from then that much more unstable/hot?
