    Default U.S Military Surplus Powders

    What's on the precent Market that used to Load 5.56x45mm, 7.62x51mm & 7.62x 63mm?
    Has to be non-corrosive!
    Thanks ahead of time!

    powders are not corrosive, that is from the primers.

    no one powder will load all three satisfactorily.

    never heard of military surplus powder. but when you heard corrosive its the primers not powder,your introuble if powder breaks down as your pressure levels will change.

    For what you are loading WC844 is a good choice. ( Loads pretty much like H 355 )

    Does anyone know where you can get WC844? I use to get it at Widener's and it's been gone for awhile.
