This from the pdf referenced by KC:

Interesting their ad says good to 600yds. According to "The Smokeless Powders of Laflin & Rand and Their Fate 100 Years After Assimilation by Dupont" by Klaus Neuschaefer 2007, Marksmen was introduced in 1904 as a reduced load "gallery" powder for rifles and L&R's only single based powder. It was renamed to Dupont Gallery Rifle #75 in 1907 when L&R was purchased by Dupont and discontinued in 1928.
