What powder does Black Hills use for the 308 Match?

[eltorro]

I got good results in one of my rifles with Black Hills, and I'd like to know what powder they use in the 308 Match?

Thanks

Call the company, unless you have a round to break down and guess.

It could be a bulk powder (not availible on the market) or a cannister powder (the same that you and I buy.

tried calling them for hours, but there's no answer.
No answering machine either.

Could be because it's July 4th... (Independence day down there!)

That would be like calling KFC and asking for their secret recipe

You mean they won't tell you???

Seriously, I've had very good success with BLC-2, Sierra bullets and CCI bench rest primers in my .308 (TRG 21). Waaay past my best expectations.

true enough!

I called today again and they told me that the powders are a secret.
Fair enogh! I had to ask. I found another box stashed away. I'll pull one apart, to have a guess at it, but it is mute nonetheless... I doubt I'm good enough to guess...

Check the powder against RL15, I believe that it's the powder used. Read that in one of the mags.

Measure the velocity and the charge weight. Then look up whatever powders meet that velocity at that charge in a load manual. That should narrow it down quite a bit.
