I actually bought the stuff to load in my 264 Win Mag and just hapened to try it in my STW too.
Sure makes life simpler having one powder for two cartridges.
My only complaint with the stuff, it burns pretty dirty. But when you can buy 8lbs of powder for $39.00 what do you have to complain...
My rifle started life as a Mdl 70 Black Shadow from Walmart chambered in 7 Rem Mag. My smith already had a reamer (from his own build) and charged me $50.00 to pull the barrel and rechamber it.
It does have a 26 inch barrel.
My load is:
Nosler Brass
Fed 215
88 grs WC872
160 Partition
OAL of...
LNIB
Bought it used but never mounted it and I don't think the previous owner did either.
No ring marks.
Has #20 reticle
Looking for $600.00 shipped.
Only trades would be like quality optic w target turrets.
USPS MO or certified check please.
There are two different Sure Cycles for a Benelli depending on the threads.
Do you happen to know which one it is?
They are either 19mm or 21mm?
Thanks,
Howard
Almost identical.
When I first started loading the WC872 I was advised I could use data for H870 as well as AA8700, both of which have been discontinued.
So far all good, no issues at all.
Sure WC872.
It's a military ball powder used to load 50BMG and 20MM Vulcan ammo.
Burn rate is very similar to AA8700.
You can use AA8700 data.
I'm loading it in 264 Win Mag and 7 STW.
Got to the range yesterday afternoon for some more load development work.
I finally got the 130 NABs to shoot an MOA group.
I found the magic powder charge weight for the 130 NABs and the Berger VLDs
I need to tweak the seating depth but I think I can get them to shoot.
The 130 VLDs shot...
