New powder at Graf's.

[MightyMO1911]

Nobel Sport powder? I've never heard of it, Graf's has a lot of it. The couple I looked at were Shotshell powders for 19 bucks for a 1.1 pound jug. Anybody know what this is or where it heralds from?

Nobel Sport is an inexpensive line of shotgun ammo as well as decent shotgun primers. While Nobel himself was Swedish, IIRC, these are made in Italy, so someone please correct me if in error. I thought I still had some boxes I could check, but they are gone. I have had zero issues with the shotgun powder and primers, so I would assume they use their powder in that ammo. Worked well, burned clean, and I'll assume the rifle stuff would do the same.

Nobel sport is a European Co.

NSI. Nobel Sport Italia. 1.1 pounds is a close approximation of ½ kilogram.

You have to wonder if there is any relation to Alfred (Peace Prize) Nobel, considering he was an armament manufacturer.

Chris - yes, it is the very same Alfred Nobel.

Looks like it is Vectan powder. Surprisingly economical, and apparently - available Here's a link to Vectan load data center in English:
