Pulled powder

[U.S. Patriot]

Where is a good source for pulled powder used in mil spec 5.56 ammo? I'm using Varget now for my .223 loads, but if pulled powder is cheaper, I would like to go rout to save some money. Also, where can I find load data for it? Lastly, for those that have or currently use it. Has it been of good quality?

I sell 8# jugs of WC844 (H335) for $85. Half the price of Varget. I have developed load data for you too, if you're interested.

I've sold a dozen jugs on INGO, and it works really well for everyone. I also have WC846 (BLC-2).

Awesome, funds are a little tight right now, but I will definitely keep you in mind. How much would it cost to ship it to Columbus? I ask because I do not get up to Indy often.

 

[Aszerigan]

Honestly, I'd rather not ship it. With the $25 hazmat fee and the $17 shipping, it negates the savings.

Next time I visit, I'd like to see that load data. I need a 'general purpose' .223 round.

Get a can of BLC-(2) then. Or, make a trip to Profire OR gibrass.com.

gibrass.com, Jeff Bartlett from Owensboro, Kentucky is a GREAT fellow and has been in the industry for a long time. Great guy to deal with and fair prices. There is Pat's Reloading on the web as well as Wideners.

They don't sell 1lb cans of the stuff, and unless Profire will let you fill a can you bring, you are going to have to shell out at least $80 for 8lbs. Start saving now!


I have 8lbs of a Russian 4895, 6lbs of a surplus Unique, 6lbs of IPP (Industrial Pistol Powder) and an 8lb jug of WC820 (uses load data for H110/W296) and that is my go to powder for the 44Mag carbine loads I do.

Sends a 240gr XTP downrange @ 1800fps from most carbines I have.

Pulled down or new surplus is the way to go if you want to shoot a lot. Those powders are not unknown. They just don't have published data. The folks that had it first, knew what they were doing with that powder and it can be used very safely.

FWIW

It's a little faster than what I normally use, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't do well with 69 grain bullets at 100 yards for practice.
Do you have 3 jugs in stock?

Wideners has 8# jugs of 844 and 846 in stock, $85 and $94 respectively, but it would be cheaper to take Aszerigan up on his deal.

Never mind, ordered 6 jugs from Wideners.
They paid hazmat and shipping is less than what gas would be to drive to Indy and back.
