I used to hand load in low brass Peter's Blue Magic hulls, 1.5 oz 5 shot lead using 36.2 grains of 571 powder. Funny how I can remember that 35 years later and not not remember stuff from a week ago...
Was that 571 the "Herco" powder? Jeez I miss that load
I always used whatever hulls I could find for free. Remember getting my reloading stuff at Herters
in Waseca. That was a long looong time ago. 1970s Maybe?
571 was a Winchester powder. Herco is now made by Alliant, same as Blue Dot, Red Dot, and other Hercules powders.
571 and Blue Dot were my favorites for loading heavy lead. Especially 571.
