Higginson question

[CreamySmooth]

There's nothing like a 24 lb box from Higginson to plaster a huge smile on your face.

Great to deal with when they have powder. My first call when looking for lee or hornady products, and have yet to be disappointed.

So true!

Top notch retailer!

Looks like they aren't listing WC735 any longer.

Damn, that breaks my heart! I'm almost out of it again and was just thinking of ordering another 21lbs.

Same here, I'm soon due for another 21lbs.

Why?

My guess is, they're all out.

From an old thread:

"The replacement for the WC-845 has arrived, it is called WC-735.
I have attached our current price lists as well.

The burn rate of WC-735 is similar to 845, but with greater energy, allowing higher charge weights and more velocity.

The only data we compiled for this powder is for the 223 Remington or 5.56mm NATO round. It goes as follows:
Bullet: 50 gr. Hdy V-Max C.O.L. 2.250" 25.2gr. 3408fps @ 53,000PSI
Bullet: 55 gr. Hdy V-Max C.O.L. 2.250" 24.0gr. 3212fps @ 49,500PSI
Bullet: 55 gr. Hdy V-Max C.O.L. 2.250" 24.3gr. 3253fps @ 51,700PSI
Bullet: 55 gr. Hdy V-Max C.O.L. 2.250" 24.9gr. 3302fps @ 53,200PSI
Bullet: 62gr. SPR FMJBT C.O.L. 2.250" 23.3gr. 3062fps @ 53,800PSI

This powder is very clean burning and very efficient, so with the low charge weights and low per pound cost, the per round cost is very attractive.

Thank you,
Andrew Higginson"

That was apparently not the first time they ran out of one or the other. 845 replaced 735 years ago. I guess it went full circle.

I can't believe this place was 40 minutes away this whole time.....

Wait 'til your powder order starts featuring a fork-lift. That'll have you giggling like a school girl. The shipping structure from Hummanson was 135 bucks for up to 400 pounds, so wasting good paid-for freight seems practically sinful. Throwing away money, really.

Any mention of a similar replacement in the future ?

Then you can save a bundle on shipping! My daughter has a close friend that she visits near Ottawa a couple of time per year. She always picks up a bulk order of powder and primers for me and I pay for her gas
