Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles BL-C(2) in 7mm 08... ?

hey all. I'm looking for both facts and 'learned opinions' from folks that have used this combo. i have several of the usual suspect powders available, but find myself with plenty of bl-c on hand, as opposed to running close to dry on the more 'fitting' powders like h380, 4320, 4350, 4895 - well, you get the idea.

if i was to go searching and change i would try and scare up some varget. but, like i said, i find myself with plenty of bl-c. Oh, 20", 1 in 9", target: feral hogs.

thanks

Hodgdon manual lists 3,109 fps w/ a max charge of 46.5 (43.5 start) gr under a 120 NBT.

Haven't used it in this cartridge, but my experience w/ that powder has been excellent accuracy-wise. Can't think of a reason, other than temperature sensitivity, why I'd chase another powder w/ so much of that.

Wait until Shootersproshop has 120 NBTs, buy 500, and go blast away.

No, no, no efw,
Leave a few of those 120's for me....(grin)
