I’ve been shooting a lot of WC-846 (similar for BL-C2) through my guns lately. It’s a great powder for 308 and 223.
Last weekend, loaded up 1000 rounds of 308. Buddy and I walked in rounds at the 700 yard targets at Holley Gun Range in Gatesville, Texas. They go out to 1200 yards, but he asks that machine guns stay at 700. Bolt actions and deliberate semi auto can go to 1200 (backstop issue). It’s a really awesome range and the owner is a genuinely good guy. $20 to shoot all day.
The load is 44 grains of WC-846, 150 grain ball, LC brass on its third firing. I use this load in all my 308 plinking rounds.
The WC-846 is mil surplus powder from a gov contract. If it’s good enough for the gov, it’s good enough for us.
I hope everyone is staying safe in this epidemic. Hopefully this BS is over soon, and we can get back to normal.
