NOBEL 104 powder

Does anybody have any experience with this stuff. Can is marked to load like IMR 4350 less 3grains. However, I also note that it is marked to be like Norma 204 and this would not seem to jive with the IMR 4350 less 3 grains. FWIW - my pet load is 55grains 4350 behind Nosler partition bullet. Thx

My first inclination is don't use it unless your sure of the correct charge for the bullet you wish to use, sounds like this is a old powder without current loading information available. For what it's worth I couldn't find anything on this powder! William

bought it in canda many years ago and believe at the time there was a few places that were mktg it(I actually forget where I got it). The attraction at that time was that it was cheaper than IMR4350 that I usually use(was quite young than). For whatever reason I never used it, but it is still in good condition and if I heard of anybody who had experience with it I would experiment. Otherwise, it will get used in New Years fireworks this yr.
