I just bought 8lbs of WC 842 from Profire. I've been using 24grs of H335 with a 55gr bullet in my .223 loads. They were out of the H335, but had a milsup powder at a good price, so I thought I'd try it.
Profire says use the same load data as H322. After an internet search, other people have been told by their supplier that it the equivalent of CFE 223.
There are warnings from folks, saying it is not CFE223 or H322, but is much hotter than either of them.
My question is this: Does anyone have any experience with this powder?
I have read where I should reduce starting loads for CFE 223 or H322 by 10 to 25% and work up from there.
I'm only looking for velocities in the 2800-2900 fps range, and have a chrono.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
