I have heard it was originally made for the 308 win. where it gives top velocity.










Nope it wasn’t. The original 308 NATO powder was Olin BLc. Now BLc-2. H414 was designed for 3006 and 270 full house loads. Made by Olin distributed by Hodgdon.

BL-C (Lot 2) for full-charge loads in the .308 Winchester and .223 Remington was newly manufactured by Olin in 1961 with 10 percent nitroglycerin, 10 percent diphenylamine stabilizer, and 5.75 percent dibutyl phthalate deterrent, but without the flash suppressant used in the surplus military propellant.

H414 was introduced in 1967 for full-charge loads in the .270 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield

760BR Ball Rifle propellant (similar to H414) introduced in 1968 and replaced by 760 in 1973.
