FWIW, Accurate Arms has an 8700. It’s a slow burner and I assumed that the similarity in numbers was more than coincidental.

Faster
126. AA-8700 127. N-170 128. H-1000 129. H-870 Slower I also like H-870...I have found it useful in around 180 different loads. (Glad I have several 8-pounders set aside...)

Looks like back to H1000 for me.
Does anyone know what ammo the military used this powder for? It was all surplused military pulldown powder-I'm guessing maybe for 20 or 30mm. Maybe this is what they used in the GAU-8 30mm's? |
