Hot WC 846
« on: July 04, 2004, 08:03:23 PM »
My lot #49949 of WC 846 is a lot closer to H-335 than BL-C(2). I scared myself pretty good with what should have been a moderate load. Ain't gonna post it here for obvious reasons, but 165 grain bullets ain't spozed to come out of a .308 at near 2900 fps. Even at that, the cases weren't showing major signs of over pressure. Primers were as flat as I will allow, but they did not flow into the firing pin hole more than is normal for that rifle. No ejector cut mark. Extraction was normal, but I was shooting a Mauser.

Listed starting loads of BL-C(2) may be at or over max with this lot.
It is the duty of the good citizen to love his country and hate his gubmint.

I'm having the same thing happen with the jug of 846 that I have LOD, and I find if I use H335 data that will put me in the ball park.  My first loads (using BL-C-2 data), I got some god awful speeds as well. - Dan
