I am using the old standard of 214gr under a 750 A-Max in my long barreled M-99.
What has everyone else moved on to? I'm still using WC860 from Pat's Reloading for my plinking and API rounds, but want something a little more consistent for long range. Thanks. |

I still can't believe that they discontinued H50! Probably one of the most used powders since it came on the market, everyone that's used it has had good results. Did they ever give a reason for stopping the production?
There's still Reloader 50, Vihtavuori powders, US 869 and some pulldown powders out there. |
