Wc844 with 39gr blitzking anyone?

[Tylerbrown1986]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on WC844 (like h335 but minus 10%) with 39gr blitzking? Will be shot out of a 22” 1/10 twist barrel

They advertise it as Similar to H 335,it's not H 335,I hope people will respond to your post,i know i would like to find out more info on it,I see it advertised for perty low prices,I loaded 26.5 grains of H 335 w/ Blitz Kings that shot in the mid .1's and low .2's at 100 yards out of a Savage 12 FV,Hvy barrel.Have not seen Any loading Data for it. Good luck. varget204

[Tylerbrown1986]

So here's the truth that Hodgy will never tell you.
WC844 made by General Dynamics in Florida (Former Olin plant) is a voluntary internal segregation from WC846. The recipe is identical, and varies only on an "as-produced" basis (not all cookies bake identically).
Surplus, and now bought toll milling, WC 846 is what Hodgdon calls BL-c2. WC844, which has 0.25% less acid stabilizer in the form of CaCO, they call H335.
For the history buffs, testing done by Frankfort arsenal took several hundred thousand rounds of testing to find an appreciable difference, despite tall tales of gas tube blockage.
So, as with any powder the 10% difference, is simple good business for lot variations.
If you are one of those of us that pressure test, and shoot surplus, many of us were burning piles of SMP-842 before Hodgdon bought it up and "invented" CFE223.
