What was Hodgdon H570? I've never heard of that one, I'm guessing its long been discontinued. The can of BL-C was $2.50. Anyone know when those containers are from? I thought maybe late 60's or early 70's.

Very cool. Just think in 50 years, someone will post pictures of today's "low prices".

Possibly late 1940'sinto the 1950's I started reloading in 1954 and I don't remember those cans. Probably because I was using Hercules Bullseye, Unique and #2400 for my handgin and IMR 3031 for the most part for my 30-30. Didn't use any Hodgden's powders until H4895 for a 30-06.

They were most likely in the mid to late 1960's. I have used those cans before, plus the round paper powder container for H4831 as well which was early 1960's.
H-570 was slower than H4831 and I believe that it was used for 20mm cannon loads. It has not been available since Hodgdon sold out of all their canistered WWII powders in the 1970's.
