I am fixing to load some .33 WCF cartridges. Have some BL-C (2) that I don't use much. Looks like it should work OK in the .33 with 200 gr Hornady round nose bullets. Looking for a suggested starting place. I thought maybe about 36 gr. Could anybody smarter than I make a suggestion? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Use the BL C2 in a modern cartridge with a moderate capacity at max pressure. You will probably get a huge fire ball and tremendous concussion in the .33 Win. Use an IMR powder in this round. | |||

I couldn't find any loads for BL-C(2). I use 44.0-IMR4320 with a the 200 gr. Hornady, a load I got out of the P. O. Ackley book. | |||

There are quite afew loads for the .32 Win Spec and .30-30 listed around for BL-C (2). The .32 is similar to the .33 and neither of those are really modern cartridges. Explain the differences??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

I would not use BL-C(2) in the .30-30 or .32 Special either. Powder companies will provide loading that while safe are not necessarily desirable to shoot. I found that it produces very accurate loads in the .222 but gunks up the barrel with plasticizer fouling. In a .270 with 90 grain bullets it produced a tremendous muzzle flash and concussion. | |||

Got enough support from others that it will be Ok to try it. Gonna start with 36 gr of BL-C(2) and try to work up to 2000 fps on chronograph. Gonna shoot 200 gr Hawk FP bullets as I can't get any Hornaday's right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
