    Greetings Steverusty, The brown discolouration is usually a sign that the powder has degraded. As this is on the surface it is, as you suspected, likely due to exposure to the air. The powder may be...

    Greetings 30late, We all need to remember that the older cartridges still work just as well, or better due to improved projectiles, as they ever did. This is in spite of any later development of new...

    Greetings Again, Just checked some of my old load data. The load of 44.5 grains of AR2209 for the 90 grain Speer for 3,185 fps appears in the November 2000 ADI Guide. This is before the increase in...
