Anyone running this powder? I have 2 pounds of it, and a bunch of 55gr FMJBT.
BLC(2) is all I've been loading because I got an 8lb jug of it when that's all I could find and it ain't gone yet. My M&P15 would cycle as low as 24.5, maybe even lower but I never went there. I just settled in at 26.0 for a long time. I recently bumped it up to 27.0 and found my zero was still spot on at 300. I've shot as high as 27.5 with no issues using mixed brass. The primers are a bit flatter but no real excess pressure sign. I also run the Hornady 55 FMJBT and use a Lee factory crimp die and crimp in the cannelure. You should be good to go at 27.0.
