Since this is surplus 20mm Vulcan powder I was wondering if it would reliably cycle semi auto 50s like the M82A1, M2, Serbu, ect. Any input appreciated. How's the reliability and accuracy?

Yes it will. I picked up a bunch of new (not pull down) when it was $32 per 8 lb jug. Use it for blasting ammo in my 82.

Yes, I've used it successfully in my semi M2HB at 218gr to 225gr under M33, Lehigh brass, M2/AP, and M8 bullets.
I get better accuracy with wc872 than wc870 or wc860.

It works very well.

I use 210gr under pulled API's for blasting, even 200gr easily cycled my m82A1.

Thanks for the replies. Is there any place that sells it for cheap? I know of Pat's but was wondering if anywhere else had it

It seems to be temperature sensitive so one day it will be a tack driver and the next you'll be shooting 3" groups @100 yds.  I don't know anywhere to get it cheap anymore.  I got 48 lbs. of virgin from Wideners a few years back but haven't seen it cheap since then.  Works fine in my AR-50 with 212 gr. behind API's.
