BL-C powder question... - DIANEB - 06-20-2023
I searched but I haven't found much load data for BL-C powder... I know it's listed in the Hornady manual...
I was wondering if its a good powder for the Grendel?
Sportsmans Warehouse near me has lots of it in stock...
Thanks...

BLC-2, 2520, Winchester 748 were the three go to powders for the Grendel when it hit the street.
I always thought BLC-2 was too dirty but a lot of guys swore by it.
If Alexander still has his load data posted, it is on there.
LR-55

Diane I have the Alexander Arms reloading data saved as a pdf file. If you want to send an email in a private message Ill email the pdf file to you. There is only two pages of data.

Twenty six of the (currently) 704 Grendel Loads on Ammoguide.com use BL-C(2).
Several loads are available in the Grendel Handbook, particularly Volume 2.

Diane- I used to use BLC2 in an Alexander arms upper 19.5'' barrel. 123 amax and 120 nosler . Right around 30.5 gr BLC2. nice & accurate. 1/2 MOA 100 yds.
never did track the "temp sensitivity" - that could be an issue. I'm always playing with different powders . haven't used BLC2 in the grendel for a while- works in 223 pretty nicely also.
hope this helps

My favorite Grendel powder, good velocities and excellent accuracy with 120-123 grain bullets. I haven't noticed it to be especially dirty myself. It does meter nicely from powder measures.
