Not used to paper shells. But the paper base wads of slightly older topgun shells I can always tell by the smell. I will ask the shooter if those shells have the paper base wad. They have always to look. And ask how can I tell. I tell them the smell gives it away.

Like Stanton, I really like IMR 4625. I use it in all of my low pressure loads for 10, 12, 14, and 16 gauge.

Exactly. But 7625 is an SR prefix.

You're correct. My apology. I'm not good at remembering numbers it seems.

SR 7625 was the dupont nomenclature....stood for shotgun/rifle. after they ceased production, it was made and marketed by imr - who marked their production as sr 7625 - but for the purpose of distinction many call the later powder imr, to separate the two different eras of production.

as far as i know, there is no difference in composition between the two.

best regards,

tom
