Is reloading the 300 wby with surplus 5010 or WC-860 ($5-6/lb) plausible? (available from hitech ammo)
Everything I've read indicates that WC-860 is comparable in burnrate to H870 (which I cant find in the newest hogdon data manual) and 5010 seems to burn slightly faster.
I'd like to load 147 gr surp FMJ for practice (ya my shoulder is gonna pay!) to avoid paying for premium projectiles.
Note: I just found a load for H870 with the massive "250-grain Original" Barnes bullet. It calls for 83.5-88.5 gr of powder for 2490-2639 fps. Any ideas?
