    Greetings all and thankyou for your likes and replies,
    If I am being honest I likely have enough hunting ammo already loaded to see me out which leaves target shooting and pottering with my old soldiers. For this I likely have at least several years supply of components and more than that for powder and primers. Thanks for mentioning IMR4740 Zimmer. I had heard about it but can never seem to find out where. I gather it was a Canadian made surplus powder used in the .303 predating AR2201 and roughly the same speed. Cross referencing the data in the Mulwex pamphlets with later pressure tested data I found some to be quite weak and some fire cracker hot so it would be best to keep it as a curio rather than use any of it. I doubt if any of it was pressure tested.
    Regards and thanks again Grandpamac.
