[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 606700, member: 5302"] While some folks like BLC2 powder with the .308, I'll share some interesting data. In developing the match load for Sierra's 155-gr. Palma bullet, we used 170-grain Federal and Winchester cases, Fed. 210M primers and all sorts of powders. BLC2 and W748 plus one or two other ball powders also got tried. Half a dozen rifles were used. Samples of most loads tested were pressure and velocity tested by a lab. BLC2 loads had the smallest spread in three areas; charge weight, muzzle velocity and peak pressure. It also was the least accurate of all powders tried. Go figure. The above aside, I applaud folks who get good accuracy with any ball powder. [/QUOTE]
