    Glad you got around to using a slower powder Mark. I've got some decent results with WC860. Lower pressure, that builds slower seems to work pretty good, just like Richard Lee said. Takes more of the slower burner, but if surplus, it's a lot less expensive.

    I bumped into this jug quite by accident. It amounted to 12 bucks a pound. So far the few unburned grains of powder has been a non-issue. It remains to be seen if the 50 grains of 5010 that I'm using is as accurate as the 16.5 grains or so of the faster powders that I was using. I do like the increased authority and I am way passed the chance of double loading the cartridge. Fifty grains of 5010 is about an 1/8th of an inch from the top of the case and I'm pushing it down with the boolit (bullet). If I had the money and the cajones I'd spring for a couple jugs of the 860-870 group of powders.
