    Did you get any unburned powder GPM? Also, what brand of brass did you end up using?

    Greetings,
    No unburned powder but it does burn a bit dirty, especially at the 32 grains of AR2206H I use on some soft loads. The cases are some old WW Super .303 cases that I reformed. The cases were unfired with their original primers. The test loads shot a lot higher than my standard soft loads which I have yet to chronograph in the .30-40. In the .303 34 grains of AR2206H produced 2,050 fps with the 150 grain. I have some .30-40 cases that I will use for the final loads. As is often the case the first tests pose more questions than they give answers to but that is the way it is with old cartridges.
    Regards Grandpamac.
