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.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. 
Need anything in trade?

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
