Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1436:
Description
This lot consists of two one-pound (454 gram) containers of IMR smokeless powder intended for ammunition reloading, totaling 2 lbs of powder. The first container is IMR 7828, a magnum rifle powder, featuring the standard blue label with white bullet-shaped graphics. The second container is IMR 7828 SSC (Super Short Cut), which utilizes the same burn rate data as standard 7828 but features a shorter grain size designed for improved metering through powder measures. Both canisters are black plastic with red textured screw-top lids. Key markings on the canisters include the IMR logo, the specific powder designations “IMR 7828” and “IMR 7828 SSC,” along with “DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE” warnings and “NET WT. 1 LB. (454 grams)” quantity statements. The SSC bottle includes the diagonal text “*Super Short Cut” and a note at the base stating “Use 7828 Data.”.
Condition report:
Both plastic containers appear to be in good, intact condition. The blue paper labels show some minor shelf wear, light scuffing, and edge wear consistent with storage. The red plastic caps appear secure. There are no visible leaks or significant impact damage to the canister bodies. The contents have not been independently verified for weight or chemical stability.
