Although some nice repeatability can be obtained with WCC846 it's got to be the second dirtiest powder only bested by 7383. I'm still getting the residue out of the barrel.

Is WCC846 the powder used in WCC ammo used by the military? Please clue me in.

I tried wc846 too in my .243

Rem brass, 70 grain bullet, 41 of wc846 and win mag primers.

I had a big spread too

3410 fps to 3550 fps 3550 blown prime.

maybe I will have to try wc846 with some 55 grainer.

jason check my edited figure in the first post. My velocity figures are now much closer to yours. I copied the wrong velocities roger
