BL-C2 hangfire - 06/23/17
I recently had a 700 re-tubed in 35Whelen and am now just starting working up loads. Wanted to use some BL-C2 I have here with 250gr Speers and am finding some random hangfires with CCI 200s primers. I use 2 or 3 other ball powders in other rifles and have not had this problem but do know that sometimes it has been reported that ball powders require a hotter primer.
I am going to try some WW LrgRifle and WW LrgRifle mag primers in the next batch. It's a bit disconcerting to shoot a 7# scoped 35Whelen with full house 250gr loads and getting a delayed ignition. Scope got me once in the eye brow this morning.
Any thoughts and/or experiences?
