I was wanting to get my loads close to the XM193 load and also the the load for the 62 grain green tipped AP round.
I measured powder from new rounds I had and this is what they measured.
55 grain XM193 = 28 grains of powder
62 grain AP round = 27.5 grain of powder.
Does anyone know what powder is currently used for the milspec rounds mentioned above? Please don't guess. Things I have seen on the net seem to indicate it is WC846 or WC844. But I can not find anything that says yes this is this type or that type.
Reason I am asking is I found a heck of a deal on 3000 62 gr AP bubllets and also the same number of M193 bullets.
