  Mike Hines,
  
  Welcome to the GB forums!
  
  It depends on what is on the label. If it says Vectan, I might be able to help. If it just states #9, #10, I'm not sure I can do anything. There were some Nobel reloading manuals out there, I think Graf & Sons was selling them.
  
  If all else fails, you can contact Nobel Sports:
  
  http://www.nobelsport.fr/
  
  Under the drop down menu 'COMPOSANTS' select 'Contacts' and choose which director you need.
  
  Best.

  If it is Vectan, go to www.gunsworld.com put Vectan Powder in the search and it takes you to reloading data for Vectan Powders.

  Unknown brands of powder (bulk) is GREAT flower food!
  
  I once had a FBI bud "give" me a ten pound can (coffee) of pistol power.. pulled from 45 ACPs. My garden that year was the best!

  ^ And it makes yer snails MEAN!
  
  
  
  Seriously, I've tried hand-me-down powder of a known type (Bullseye) from a friend and after several bullets stuck in barrels I pulled all remaining rounds and disposed of the rest of the powder.
  
  I'll never again use second-hand powders from anybody, as you have no way of knowing how good it is, despite the givers best intentions. I understand if you're strapped for cash and every dollar counts, but it's not worth the trouble for the cost of new powder.
