1. Good to hear you had good results, and most importantly had a good time.
2. In the past there were those questioning "Why I wanted to explore super slow powders such as WC860 and WC872". Well, lets see;....
a. Recently most "Appropriate" powders for .223/.308/30-06/etc.. went from Readily Available, to Not In Stock at almost all on line sources.
b. Today, I noted that Gunbroker lists a variety of 8lb rifle powders "Starting At" $250.00 for bids, almost double a month ago.
c. Surplus WC860 & WC872 is sold out at Wiedner's and Pat's. Amazing since it seemed they could not get rid of it and prices kept dropping over the last few years.
For those who picked up these less expensive powders, they now have a secondary source to keep shooting. What I have noted locally is many shooters (non Cast Boolit Shooters), are afraid to shoot what they have because they feel they may not be able to replace it. Last time this phenomena was this drastic was during World War II according to stories I heard from my Grand Parents, Aunts & Uncles, and Parents.
3. I'm still working WC860 and WC872 in .223/5.56, as well as .308/7.62 & 30-06. Still enjoying the pursuit.
