BLC 2 load data

Load data for BLC2 using 90,95 100 grain bullets. I see on the burn rate chart it is right there with CFE 223.

Be careful with the burn rate rabbit hole. Rates are nice but density and pressure curves vary so much between powders that are right next to each other. The nice thing is that even with wildcats a similar case capacity case can be used as a baseline with caution. Withe new 6 ARC out there we now have pressure data in a slightly smaller case that will be an excellent starting load point using its top charges.

I'm kind of on the fence about it. Really don't want to waste bullets working up a load. Ran across a fella that had 2# he wanted to sell. I might stick with my 2 go to powders in this time of limited availability of components.

It just doesn't get the speeds you would want in most set ups. I just got a report back from a guy and it was about 100+ FPS slower than his other 8208 loads. Plus it is very temp sensitive.

I think i'm going to pass on it. Researching the 6 ARC i see CFE 223 and Lever. seem to be the powder of choice for the 100's.

I applaud your decision .
