I have 120 375's to pull bullets out of to form 500 MDM cases. The last time I pulled 40 apart the powder made an impressive flame in the driveway. Does anyone know for a fact what powder Remington used in the factory 270gr SP and 300 gr A frame? If I could reuse it safely to shoot a fire forming bullet load to iron out the case that would be great. Thanks, John

I have pulled 375 RUMs apart and saved the powder. I don't know what it is. I have considered using it for reduced loads in a 30-06 for practice, but so far haven't needed to go to that extreme.

Most powders used by ammo manufacturers is made bulk for a specific burning rate, with no correlation to canister powders that handloaders use. You may get away with or you may not, personally I wouldn’t take a chance for that small amount of powder.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
