I am getting ready to shoot some of this and the jug (marked when I received it) says BLC-2 minus 2 grains.
Anyone still have any of this powder and Lot, what was/is your result?
Anyone do any testing comparing it to AA 2520?
TIA

The Second there to protect the First!
I've used a bunch of this stuff in .308... I was given several pounds of it by a friend who worked for Olin, who said it was what they used to load the 7.62 Nato. Velocity result (averages) I got with a Speer 150 gr. spitzer were as follows:
41.0 gr - 2461 f/s
42.0 gr - 2508
43.0 gr - 2576
44.0 gr - 2623
45.0 gr - 2683
My load notes say that by case expansion it looked like 44.5 gr would give about the same pressure as a factory load.
You can compare these results to those quoted for BLC-2, but I also have a note that they're equivalent powders. The 2-grain reduction would be a good safety measure...
