He helped me learn about competition case prep and loading, I know everything about his loads, EXCEPT which powder and how much! Some things just go with you to the grave!

Thanks, Ivan. I have what I believe is an old Wimbledon Cup "bull rifle" made by Griffin and Howe. It is chambered in 30.06. I sure could use your friends load data
