Hi.
Does anyone have any experience with this powder : WC-735. higginson has it for a good price.
Any one have any data for it for loading 223rem, 308 win or 243 win.

Thanks.
 
It's a great powder, especially considering the price. Use H335 as a load guide less about 5% for each suggested load. Being a ball powder, it meters very well. Did I mention that you can't beat it for price? I usually buy 7 lbs at a time. It works well in .223Rem and .308winchester.
 
Loading data from previous posts

Here is some data I picked off another thread a year ago

"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
******** 24.3gr. 3253fps @ 51,700PSI Duplicates the us 556NATO load @ 3250 ft/sec**********
" " " 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,

I think the powder is better for the 223 - likely a bit too fast burning for a decent 308 or 243 load. Just a thought anyhow....
