    Default BL-C(2) Powder

    Midsouth has some in stock for $29. Hodgdon shows it working with several of my rifles.

    Anyone use this powder?

    It goes bang. That's really all I know. WC846 load data.

    If it fits the application you need it for BUY IT! . However by now it's probably out of stock.

    Just a suggestion. Have a list of powders that fit the caliber / bullet you want to load for. IF any of it becomes available, grab it.
    If it was for, say, 9mm. Even it it called for 6 gr powder. That still gives you 1100ish rounds you can produce.

    Same as 00tec, I’ve just used the milsurp WC846 powder that states it’s like BL-C(2). It’s just “ok” in my opinion... it goes bang for sure, and meters well since it’s a tiny fine spherical powder, but it’s not something I’d use for match grade loads... for plinking or bulk “throw in a can for a rainy day”, sure.

    I show some load data I did when I first started reloading; 24.7gr BL-C(2) under 69gr SMK BTHP. Didn't have a chrono at the time, but notes indicate groups were "acceptable." Not much more info.

    I'm pretty sure someone in this thread has been loading them at m855 specs easily.

    However, I am not an expert. I just shoot other people's ammo when they let me.

    from my load notes, I tried a few powders and in the end decided H335 was best for what I was doing, this is data from maybe 200-300 rounds

    I used it quite a bit in the past. I think I've found better powders for just about everything now though. I sort of planned to do some load ladders with it and 55 grain bullets.

    Maybe I can work on it after I scratch the .40 S&W and .357 SIG itch I've got going on.
