Using 640 gr bullets you can fill case,
250 grains or more of WC-872.Ed.

We got info from a load sheet. With 640 gr bullet,WC-872,
will do over 3000fps depending on the gun.With your 710
gr, 235gr WC-872 powder would about 2750-2800.

Oh I forgot, I am asleep at the switch, you
should check your 200 gr load to make sure IS
NOT less than 88% fill(7/8).I never run slow powders with less than 88% fill.I suspect that safe starting loads of 872 would be 215 to 220 gr.Please check to see how much a full load is with the cases and bullets you are using.Ed.
