303 British Loads

[ArchAngelCD]

OK, I have a British Enfield in 303 British. I have several loads but I'm looking into use up a few pounds of powder I don't use for anything right now, BL-C(2).

I loading a Hornady 174gr bullet and I would like to know if anyone uses that powder/bullet combination in the 303?
Normally I would just go through the normal process but with LRP being on the hard to find side I'm asking for a place to start so I can try to save some components.

Thank you in advance...

I never got good results from BL-C(2). It always seemed a bit fast My best results were with IMR 4064 and IMR 4895. With some lighter bullets IMR 3031 did well but BL-C(2) still didn’t work out.
I’m not saying it won’t hit paper at 50ft but I just didn’t get consistent good results like I did with the other powders.
