D. NO. 6 Powder Bars
« on: October 10, 2012, 09:59:28 am »
I have several Powder Bars marked D. NO. 6

Does anyone know what powder that is?   I'm not familiar with it.

Greetings,

In the old days, DuPont made a 5066 powder for pistol. There was also a DuPont #6 powder. I have read about it in old Lyman reloading books.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave.  Never heard of it but it makes sense.  I was thinking maybe Dynamit Nobel, but DuPont makes more sense.
