I was just given another jug of this. I used it quite some time ago. But alas I cant find my data for it. IIRC I should use the blc-2 data which we all know varies from book to book. I seem to remember that it varies wildly from lot to lot. I plan on using a starting load of 24.5 grains then going form there. these are going to be used in a few Autos as blasting ammo with 55s. Sound safe enough? cheers and thanks Jim |

Start low and work your way up.......... _________________________________________________ For regular military loads. Generally........... WC 844 is used in 5.56x45 NATO WC 846 is used in 7.62x51 NATO WC844(H335) and WC846(BLC2) *Not a direct replacement. Start low and work your way up. __________________________________________________ www.hodgdon.com/smokeless/rifle.php H335™ originated as a military powder, used for the 5.56 NATO, or 223 Remington as handloaders know it. Obviously, it sees endless use in the 222 Remington, 223 Remington and other small cartridges. In particular, prairie dog shooters will find this a favorite, as J.B. Hodgdon has for years! Available in 1 lb. & 8 lb. containers. BL-C(2)™ is a spherical powder that began as a military powder used in the 7.62 NATO, commonly known as the 308 Winchester. When it was first introduced to the handloader, benchrest shooters and other target shooters made it an instant success. BL-C(2) works extremely well in the 223 Remington, 17 Remington, 22 PPC and of course, the 308 Winchester, plus many more. Available in 1 lb. & 8 lb. containers. _________________________________________________ Some loads with WC846 are listed here........ www.warrifles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51236 ____________________________ And more military powder loads……… www.fortliberty.org/military-library/ballistics-chart.shtml ____________________________ And in case you were wondering about other military powders......... www.icehouse.net/fgrig/gun/SURPLUS.TXT ____________________________ Aloha, Mark |
