Use H335 data, but use the start load as your max load, reduce by 10% and go from there. - dan
I thought it was WC735 that was 5% faster than H335. Is WC 845 that close as well?
I use WC845 in my 223 with 55gr fmjbt's. At 22.5gr I've not tested for velocity, only accuracy and with CCI mag primers I don't think this is a hot load. I have a 100yd target showing 3 into less than .400" though most targets would go about 1/2" or a bit more with this bullet. However, using the same charge under a 50 or 52gr Hornady Amax I have targets giving just under and just over 1/2"@200yds. Though these are "best" targets (most of us on gun forums only give the best groups) to be honest you could double the group sizes and that would be what you could count on depending on the rifle. WC845 also works very well in a 308 with 155gr Hor Amax bullets, if you've got 7lbs you'll be very happy with your purchase.
