That would be WC844.
WC846 = Blc(2)
WC852 = H380. Be careful with 852, there were some fast lots that didn't meet milspec that were surplused, so start a bit lower than normal when you work up with it.

This is some good info. Thanks for posting.


The most accurate loads I've put together for the AR all featured milsurplus WC846. It's really good stuff, just work up your loads in the summer.

Same for the .338 Win Mag, but with WC852. I've shot some really good groups with it behind 200gr NBT's, but I'm not comfortable with just how hot those loads are, so I stick to the non-canister H4831-sc I have for the rifle.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
