I have just scored 24 pounds of the stuff. I intend to use the data for BLC-2. The question is, how much does this stuff vary from lot to lot? Have any of you tried this stuff? What loads did you wind up with? Were you happy with the results?

What loads did you wind up with? Were you happy with the results? WC846 can vary quite a bit from lot to lot. It would be a big mistake to use BL-C(2) data without beginning with the very minimum listed start load. Some lots of WC846 are significantly faster than BL-C(2); on the order of 190 fps faster with the same powder charge. The following information is provided for educational purposes only.

So, I'm thinking?
Dangerous, maybe? OK..... So..........IF I had 24 lb.......3 - 8 lb cans..........would I be looking at the lot #. Then, assuming that they were all different. Would I........mix up all of the three cans.........then, split them back up into the 3 cans? The downside is that I may not actually mix them...........OK. So, I need to do a good job. The upside is that once it's done........I'll have a good chance of WC846 data (making my own) that could be used until I run out of this powder. What do you think? Aloha, Mark |

Aloha, Mark I think the most appropriate (and SAFEST) way would be to work the load up for each 8lb keg, treating each as not just a different lot but (since this stuff is pretty widely variable) as a "similar" powder. With 24lb of the stuff, working up a load for each keg would not in any way significantly diminish the vast amount of ammo you could load... |
