Surplus (Data) Powder
OK, you guys talked me into it. I am going to purchase a bunch of Data Powder and maybe some WC as well.

What do you guys recommend for the following calibers? 7.62x39 using 125 and 150gr bullets and 6.5x55 using 140's. Maybe even a jug for my 300WSM.

Thanks

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Thanks Roger, Were would I find WCC846? 2230C and DP86 it is. Do you recommend anything for the 7.62x39 that is a bit faster than the 2230C?

Thanks Again

Accurate Data 86 is available here:
Powder valley
It should work great in both your 6.5x55 and .300WSM. If you order 2 of the 8 lb kegs, cost should work out to around $9.50 per lb. I just may order some more, as it is also proving excellent in .243 Win.


Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.

Also try Graff & Sons, Natchez and Wideners.

4198, 1680, 680. You should be able to find surplus 680 from one of the sources suggested or under reloading components in the Shot Gun News. beerroger
