Does anyone know what powder Federal uses in their 16 Ga. game loads? I love the smell of that burnt powder.
Thanks

| The ammunition manufacturers use commercial grade powder, purchased in huge lots, that is not available to reloaders. The 1 oz. load would probably be loaded with something similar to Unique. The aroma you're referring to is more likely from the paper basewad in these Federal cases. |
