Haven't used any of this pulled down powder before but I'm looking for something else to use for mil surp bullets instead of my H50. Would like to save it for the A-Max. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Have a friend who uses it for mil-surp projectiles.
Does the job very well.

I use it in all my 50 loads under M33 projectiles.  I've been anywhere between 215 and 221 grains in LC brass with no pressure signs.  Great for short range and for destroying old personal computers.  Course, this is out of my M107A1.

I hate using 860 pulled down powder.  I had a spread of over 250 FPS and had 24 lbs that I finally gave up on and burned in my burn barrel.  I like government surplus but not pulled down.  I even tried to winnow the dust out of it by pouring it into another container in front of a fan.  It was the dust that was killing my consistency.

Has anyone used the WC860 that GI Brass has for sale?

The WC860 that I've bought from Jeff Bartlett and Pat's Reloading has always given me low stdev's.

I must have gotten a batch from pulled ammo that had seen a lot of traveling and getting beat up. If your getting low SD then it is working great for you.  I was able to find some AA8700, H50 and some VV powder for my heaver bullets.
