I've got this much AA#5:

3.5"diameter X .075" deep, measured in a clear plastic container.

Just poured it out from the original powder canister to measure it and see how much remained.

I've been using 5gr behind a 115gr 9mm BerrysBullet for very light 9mm target loads.   It has been on the shelf for a while but shoots just fine, as do most powders that have been properly stored.

There's just enough powder to mess around with a bit.   You are welcome to it for freebie if you wish.
    MHicks of this Forum very nicely gave me some Promo a few months back for free.   So I'd like emulate his generosity by likewise giving away the AA#5 if you want it.

Would have to figure how to get it down to Lincoln.   Maybe my Lovely Daughter-UNL Student would haul it down.   Hardly enough powder to make it worth a round trip to Omaha and back.

Your move.

Went to Scheel's in Lincoln today and they had a pretty good selection of powders, mostly rifle.  There were probably 20 or so different ones listed.  No Varget or TAC which are my favorite for rifle, but I did pick up some H322 and IMR 8208 XBR to try in my Grendel.

Randy at Thunder Alley has a little bit of pistol powder. Win 296, h113, accurate either 2 or 5.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.
