[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 176318, member: 7194"] Thanks for the info. I have had a little confusion regarding WC872, here is my take on it. It is a surplus sperical ball powder that is marketed as a replacement for the now extinct H870, and uses the same load data. (basically the same powder that H marketed until the supply ran out) T870 also falls into the same catagory. 869 on the otherhand is the powder that Hodgdon is marketing as the "new" 870 and it is not surplus powder. Is that correct? I looked at T870 compared to WC872 and it looks pretty much the same except T870 has fewer of the not quite round powder kernals. I have used both of these powders in a 300wby and got much greater velocities w/o pressure signs using my lot of T870. I do not know if the circumstances will be the same with the 270AM, but I am going to find out today. I am thinking the lot of T870 that I own is a little slower than the previous lot of WC872 that I used. [/QUOTE]
