Lake City powders

[bbassi]

Is anyone running demilled LC powders as their go to powder (WC846 or WC844)? There are a couple places on line that are selling it much cheaper then the commercial powders and I'm wondering if it's worth stocking up.

Years back, when powder was short, I was able to find a load for 223 of about 24.5gr WC846 paired with an XM855 that shot sub MOA. I used it until H335 reappeared. 846 is for 7.62 and 844 is for 5.56. It wasn't ideal but it worked. I have only ever seen it in 8lb jugs, so if you find a deal and can work up a load that works for your rifle(s), run it.
