846 pulldown and 147 gr. for 308
Has anybody used this combination of 147 grain Winchester bullets and 846 pull down powder? TIA

I don't have my data with me due a search questions on 846 have been asked a lot here.

My lot is very fast. Others have had great luck with it.

I have to start way low to have safe pressures.

My starting loads used the starting data for BLC2 (308) in LC brass, M80 ball and WW STD Primer for my M1 and M1A.

WC 846 is the same spec powder as BL-C2 and WW 748. That's not to say that all lots act exactly the same, just that all are made with the same recipe. That's also not to say that everything sold as WC 846 is WC 846. If you are sold WC-844 instead, it acts as slow or slower in cases like .223, but acts somewhat faster in larger cases like .308. How did whoever did the "pull down" verify that it was WC-846?

The lot of WC 846 I have does nicely with .308/150 grain bullets and comports reasonably well with BL-C2 and WW 748 data.
