[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2166490, member: 48043"] Yup... you won't be at full speed though. The 50 cal. powders make for good shorter range paper punching with cartridges like the 270 win. I use wc872 in my 270 with a 130 blem for farting around loads. I'm at 69.5 grains with the pill seated to the lands. With 50bmg being a stick, you will prolly drop down to the mid 60's for top charge and still be rather compressed, but 2500-2700 fps should be on tap with a 130. You will want to either use vibration or a drop tube to get better load density in the case. It might be a better option to find a slightly faster powder but if it's your only present option to shoot do it... Put enough load on the powder though (minimum of 130 grain pill- use mag. primer too.. [/QUOTE]
