There was some reason(s) why it was surplused. It might be too old, too much flash...burn dirty...not temp resistant.

Ever actually use any of the surplus powders out there or has this info been plucked off the net?

Not only do I have 8# of WC845, but I also have over 12# of WC852 (H450 equivalent). Both are fresh, consistent, easy to measure, clean and priced right. There are many folks who have bought these powders here in Canada from Higginsons over the yrs and to date, I've never heard a complaint yet. In fact, now that the supply has dried up, most lament the loss of availability.
