Propellant Description
Name
WC820 Orignal application is for the U.S. Cal. .30 Carbine Ball M1 round. This
lot loads at 13.5gr with 110gr FMJ projectile. This is a ball powder
which can be loaded using Hodgdon H110 data. Ideal for .410 shotgun and the
.357 & .44 Magnums.
This is pulldown ball powder.
$100/8# jug.
WC844 Just in, very limited supply. Original application is U.S. 5.56mm NATO Ball M193
(55gr) & M855 (62gr), plus Tracer M196 & M856. Typical starting load for
55gr bullet is 26gr, and 62gr bullet is 25gr. A ball powder which can be loaded
with Hodgdon H335 data. Also works great in 7.62mm NATO (.308 Win.).
This is pulldown powder.
SOLD OUT
IMR7383 This is a slow burning stick powder originally used for the Cal. .50
M48 Spotter/Tracer round. It is a very bulky powder, that has about
the same propellant energy as IMR4831 by volume, but weighs less than
the same volume of IMR4831. You can work up loads using IMR4831 data,
reduced 15% by weight. It works great in my .25-06.
This is new powder, not pulldown.
$56/7# jug.
WC857 New item. A slow burning ball type powder used in the .50BMG tracer
ammo. This powder burns faster than the typical WC860-WC872 series of
powders. Burn rate seems to be similar to Hodgdon H1000 or Reloder 25.
An excellent choice for the .300 Win Mag, 7mm Mag, and other magnum type
calibers. Good results in .25-06 with heavy bullets.
This is pulldown ball powder from Lake City.
$72/8# jug
IMR5010 Original application is .50 Cal. BMG ammo. Same powder as originally
sold by Hodgdon as H5010, and similar to their current 50BMG.
This is pulldown extruded powder
SOLD OUT
WC860 Original application is U.S. .50 Cal. BMG ammo, used for the Ball
M33 and API M8 projectile. A ball powder which can be loaded using
Hodgdon H870 or AA8700 data. Just received a limited supply.
This is pulldown ball powder from Lake City.
$56/8# jug; $216/4-8# jugs ($54/jug); $300/6-8# jugs ($50/jug)
WC870 Here is some of the exact original type powder as was sold by Hodgdon, called
H870, until discontinued. A ball powder originally used in the 20mm Vulcan
round, until replaced by WC872. This powder is also very similar to Accurate
Arms AA8700. Because of the lot to lot variations in burn rate, be sure to
begin with listed starting load data. Works great in the .50BMG and other
large capacity magnums.
This is pulldown ball powder.
$48/8# jug; $176/4-8# jugs ($44/jug); $240/6-8# jugs ($40/jug)
WC872 Original application is U.S. 20mm Vulcan ammo. A ball powder which
can be loaded using Hodgdon H870 or AA8700 data. Very limited supply.
Ideal for .50 BMG and other large capacity magnums.
An unexpected acquisition.
This is pulldown ball powder.

I use 42 grains of WC860 under a BHN22 cast 180 grain lead bullet for 1850 fps and excellent accuracy with the 7.62X51 bolt rifle. A full case to bullet's bottom would probably be about 47 grains and would only give about 2200fps or maybe less with a 150 grain slug. WC860 leaves a lot of partly burned powder granules in the bore but that doesn't seem to affect accuracy. It can interfere with chambering if some gets spilled in the chamber however. Heavier bullets seem to get a cleaner burn.

You do realize that powder was developed for use in the 50 BMG, right?
