I have recently acquired a bottle of US surplus ammo powder. it comes in gallon bottles and is marked that it's used for M2 ball ammo. I was just curious if anyone knew the commercial name and proper load info for M2 ball?

also a bit of a side note but there is a can of Hercules HIVEL, can says it's for military cartridges, anyone know anything about this stuff?

EDIT:
google search brought me to this thread

where the OP has a picture of a similarly packed and marked bottle with verly slight differences but same wording.

apparently there never was a absolute answer to it either.
