Whatever happened to Alcan powders? - Cast Boolits Eventually, Alcan folded for several reasons, the final one of which was the destruction of the Bofors powder plant in Sweden - their supplier Of their four shotgun powders (Al-120, AL-5, AL-7, and AL-8) the three faster ones have the best application to handguns
Alcan primers - Cast Boolits Later, as mentioned, Alcan went into a marketing distribution contract with Smith Wesson I have powder cans with the S W label on them in my collection They eventually added rifle and handgun primers to their stock, but not rifle powders When the Bofors plant burned down and was not rebuilt, that was the end of Alcan
Alcan primers - Cast Boolits My first buy of primers were 5000 Alcan small rifle primers used in my 222 and finished in my 223 That was in the 1970's and they were gone by 1978 when I bought 10k CCI Small rifle primers on sale at I think was Value house for $20 0 per 5000k case, along with 40 bags of lead shot at 8 00 dollars per bag
Alcan powders - Cast Boolits The book 'Propellant Properties' gives some info on 4 different Alcan powders AL-5, 7, 8, and AL-120 They are all shotgun powders, and were also used in various pistol cartridges I haven't found any mention of AL-101 My Speer #8 Manual gives loads for AL-5 in several pistol cartridges
Alcan #5 - Cast Boolits For one thing, Alcan 5 is a flake powder, not spherical It does happen to have a burn rate near that of Unique and Accurate #5, but that's more coincidence than plan I like Alcan 5 in medium handgun loads but have never used it in any rifle cartridges

#57 Primers and #157 - Cast Boolits Generally speaking, only Remington-Peters and some Alcan cases used the 57 size primer, the rest used the 209 or Winchester size From the above it appears that the G57F was a little hotter than other standard primers, but not as hot as the Alcan 220 MaxFire
? on Alcan Flite-Max - Cast Boolits i have some data for some alcan powder for these wads i have a bag of period 7-1 2 shot and a partial bag on #6, and some alcan-5 powder i even have 100 brand new [factory new not once fired] primed rxp hulls waiting for the day i decide to go period retro these wads were designed to have pressure applied to the wad
Alcan 7 Powder Loading - Cast Boolits I like the Alcan series, and wish they still made them My copy of "Propellant Profiles" (reprints from Handloader magazine) has an article by John Wooters He quotes Alcan recommended loads for the 44 Magnum as follows: 19 0 170 Cast -- 1,795 fps 16 5 225 Speer HP -- 1,590 fps 16 0 240 Speer or Hornady -- 1,465 fps 15 5 250 Cast -- 1,460 fps
Alcan 7 - Cast Boolits This Alcan 7 has more loading data in my old manuals than did the Alcan 5 Seemed like good stuff in magnum hand gun loads, seems to burn slower than Unique but faster than Blue Dot I loaded up some today using some gas checked 158 grain SWCs and 9 grains of this Alcan #7 in a Blackhawk I have that has given mediocre accuracy with most things
