WC820...

My lot of 820 was WAY slower that what most everyone else reports. It is very close to H110/296. To equal H110 velocity I only have to reduce the powder charge by about 3-5%. I went through a 8 # jug just working with loads in all the calibers I have that it is suitable for. I still have a jug or so left but wish I would have bought more.

That was a start load for working up with a Win primer. The 7.5" was going around 1215 FPS. In my TLA it was going 1240 FPS. I topped out at 23.0 and a CCI 550 for around 1400-1450 out of my TLA. ( depending on which brand of Keith bullet or a 429244) with 22.0gr CCI550 and the 429244 my TLA is really accurate. It shoots the Keith bullet quite well too but there is a slight edge with the gas check over 1400.
