    Identification of WC872

    i just bought a jug of WC 872 and want to make sure thats what it is.

    The WC 872 in my jug is ball powder with pretty tiny grains. does that sound right?


    This is totally unlike my IMR 5010 which is stick powder with large diameter sticks.

    I thought most sloooow burning powder tended to have very large grain size

    WC872 is great in 7.5x55 Swiss, 7.62x54r, and 7.7x58 Jap with a full case and a heavy boolit.
