MaineboyHey Buckshot (or Whitworth)
Sometime just before the old Shooters board went down, you told me about your 'spermints with your heavy 8mm boolit and surplus powder. I believe it was WC852. Of course I didn't copy it and now I can't refer to it when I need to work up a hunting load. Care to repeat it?

Paul BraskyMEboy, I don't think Buckshot/Whitworth spends much time on this board any longer. Permit me to suggest that with the heavy Lyman #323471 or the even heavier Buckshot-designed Lee CB, WC860 or IMR 5010 work rather well in doses of 47gr. to 50gr. With 5010, some sort of filler, e.g., grex or powdered bran, is necessary for a cleaner burn and lower ES's. With 860, there's little to be gained by adding either. Hope this helps, ...Maven

MaineboyDid I miss something? I have noticed a lack of his posts lately. The reason I'm looking for Buckshot's old data is that I'm trying to get around 2000 fps from his boolit, and I can't do it with a full case of 5010.
