Anyone in reloading land using this military powder in a .30/06? What bullet weight and load data have you used? I bought some (never go powder shopping as a rookie reloader and buy some on the say-so of the guy at the counter... "this is the best kept secret around"). I have seen some data that it is a slower burning powder, and compares to H335, but is 5% hotter?
WC735 in a .30/06?
- Thread starter TarpMan
- Start date
I just did load development with WC 735 on my Savage Model 114 American Classic Stainless 3006. The most accurate load was 150 gr Sierra Game King Spitzer Boat Tail bullets, over 47.8 grains of WC 735, CCI 200 Large Rifle primers. You will have to start lower with it and work it up, I started seeing pressure signs at 49.2 grains of powder.

And yes, I used 5% faster than H335 Loading Data. So if the starting load was 50 grains of H335, use 47.5 gr of Wc735 as your starting load(JUST AN EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOT A REAL STARTING LOAD!!!!!!!!!!!) Consult your manual for H 335 Data....
