Threading insert recommendation

Greetings,

It seems Carmex BXC grade insert is no longer avaliable in 16ER and I dont live in the US to purchase whats avaliable there.
Can anyone recommend another carbide grade/ brand that works as well threading tenons at low speeds?

Thankyou.
 
Iscar with IC 908 coating. Been using them for many years on a manual at manual speeds. They work well slow and fast.

I buy them from Carbide Depot. If you want specific numbers let me know. I use TPI specific for barrels, breech and muzzle.

20TPI version. Note: The representative image on Iscar's site is not what they actually look like. They are a smooth dark grey with no chip breaker unlike what they show in the image.
