Powder Measure Set Card for Nobel 60

Post by Missionary »

Good morning
I have with me a Yellow Dipper set pachaged in 1987. Rescently I came across an old pound of powder Nobel #60 (pre 1970) . Was researching data for it and from Australia came my first lead.
As I was getting set up to charge a few cases I got out my old Yellow Dipper set and there on the sliding chart are Nobel Powders with #60 in the middle. Complete charge info for all the dippers.
My Question is... What date was your set of Yellow dippers put together and does it list Nobel #60 ?
Remember to check both sides of the siding chart.

Good morning! I have to "yellow" dipper set cards, one dated 1990 and another dated 1995. Nobel 60 is listed on the 1990 card. Here are the combos to compare with your 1970 card.

Those are the same weights as my card shows.
So I guess by 1995 they decided to update the card options which makes sence.

They do update it on a regular basis, the latest being April 2012. Really, what is important is that you calculate the specific VMD of your powder and then the dippers will drop an accurate charge. The grain weights on the card are based on the powder manufacturers spec but they are allowed up to a 16% variation in density.
