    DO NOT TAKE THIS AS GOSPEL
    I found this on another site from a few years ago. The guy as given 10 LBS of the stuff.

    "On the can it says
    "3 dram equivalent 19.0 grains, 2 3/4 dram equivalent 17.5 grains".
    I then ran some through a #28 MEC bushing, which gives a 17.7g average drop".


    I know it was from CIL the Canadian company and I read that they got it from artillery shells. Who knows if that is true.

    I also looked around the web and found this old MEC chart. You can see that back then MEC had it as the same as THE OLD HI-SKOR 700x
