WC-846 is close to H-BLc2 so starting loads of BLc is where I would begin. COW lists; Cartridge 5.56mm Ball M193 having 28.5 grains: Cartridge 7.62mm Ball M59 having 46 grains. Remember it is surplus for a reason! It may be too fast, too slow, or maybe too much?

Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
