Ok so here is the story. A friend of mine, her dad was a range officer and did a lot of reloading with the m1 garand. Sadly he passed away and she acumulated a lot of his items. Well some time passed and I ended up with a 1942 awsome condition springfield m1 garand. I rememberd that my friend had a lot of reloading stuff and so i picked all of the m1 reloading supplys that she had. Well come to find out the 8 out of the 10 pounds of powder was IMR 1185. Much to my chargrin I have yet to find any reloading data with the IMR 1185 and i have speent a few weeks looking. The funny thing is out of the 10 pounds of powder 2 pounds of it was DU Pont sporting rifle powder number 80 which survived the years and didnt decay and has the reloading data on the back.
So now im stuck with a lot of usable powder with no reloading data what so ever and looking threw all the info on the internet and all my reloading books has yeilded me nothing but lost time! I am begging, no pleading for those of you with greater wisdom than i posses to show a bit of kindness to this poor youngster that cant find the info he needs! Do laugh because it is funny in a way, i laughed when i got the powder for such a good deal. I have relized i should have kept my mouth shut. Have pitty? On a side note i have what looks to be a mint pound of du pont number 80 powder in the metal can with the wax paper...
