Has any one used BLC_2 powder to reload .303 British for a cast bullet? The rifle is a SMLE.
I cast some .303 boolits from a Lee C312-185-1R mold then sized them to .311. They are lubed and gas checked but I have not assembled any complete rounds.
In researching suitable loads I came across a discussion on the Forum using BLC_2 for 30.06 that carried some hefty warnings and it has given me some pause for thought. Another member suggested 25 or 26 grs to start off and I was happy with this but I need that little bit of reassurance. Has anyone reloaded a 185 GS boolit using BLC-2?
The boolit is for 100 to 200 yrd plinking.
BLC-2 is kinda difficult to research for lead boolits.
