My load was with a lot of WC844
that compared to H335 when I compared the two way back when.
24 point something and I quit as I was going to carry it hunting that week last year.
Did not get to hunt with it and did not do any shooting since to tweak it further. Developed a load with the NPT and 3031 at the same time and as it works out both were the same as a coworker had worked up for his AR. He had told me he had used both powders and so I just worked up a load based on middle of the load data and up and then most accurate.
I guess today is as good as any to pull a bullet from each and see what the exact charge is. I will edit this posting when I get that done.
Sloppy record keeping is not recommended for loading.
And I used to be fairly meticulous with recording loading data to include a sample group with the load data on the target.
My gun is 20" barrel, can't handle the noise of the short barrels. Reminds me of shooting my 10" 30 Herrett with ball powder.
went back and looked.
23.5 grains. Went higher, but went for accuracy at upper level load.
IF ONE IS NOT WILLING TO WORK UP SLOWLY
NOT WILLING TO CHRONOGRAPH LOADS
COMPARE WITH A KNOW IF AVAILABLE
then MILSURP powder is not for them.
The gubmit tests powder from train car lots and works up loads to their specs as I understand it

- So is WC844 a surplus powder that's similar to H335? -
