I think BLC-2 is a reasonable enough enough powder in terms of density and burn rate, but I dont have any load development software to work with.
I'm not chasing huge velocity, just ringing steel inside 300yds.
I'd like to start safely below max charge and work up until I find a load my barrel likes, but avoid starting wastefully low.
thanks in advance for any advice/ideas
Sorry pashiner, not to high jack your thread, but I have been wanting to ask your question for several months.
I find my self in the same situation. A pound of BL-(2) and 500 rounds of Norma 130 gr Golden Target bullets and no good data. As in the OP's comments I an interested in accuracy first. My main issue is in that I live in west central Illinois with its 60 - 80 degree temp swings, sometimes daily.
