mil-surp WC 732 powder

[lx2008]

hi,
has anyone used wc 732 at all? i just picked up an 8lb jug from amer. reloading.
seems its good for whats on the label .223 ( 26gr under a 55gr bullet) . thats the main use for it for me.

but i was wondering if it can be used in .308. its burn rate on the "Ballistic assistant" chart says
its a tad slower than AA2230 but a little faster than H335 & very close to ramshots x-terminator. i have used 335 with decent success
for 7.62x51 / .308. just wondering what any of you guys think of 732 for 7.62x51/.308?

thank you for any help!

No experience, but Western Powders lists XT and 2230 for the 308 so if you want to work up from a minimum load, it would seem doable.

Very definitely a ball powder. Looks like a fine 231 if that makes any sense. Manufacutured by Winchester or at least Olin. Higginson Powders sells it up here. They say it is 5% faster than H 335.
