I've been told it is the same as 1680 I have used WC-680 data for 1680 powder at times. Use your best judgement, carefully.

1680 is a different lot of the old 680 so work up carefully

 

[DGP4]

Yes, it is the same as 1680, but you always should start 10% below your usual load as there are differences in lots.

Mark,
I have not chronographed it yet but accuracy wise there the same from what I can see. I used 680 years ago until I ran out then switched over to 1680. This spring I went to a gun show and bought 4 lbs of WC680 in the old metal cans, looks good, smells good and shoots same point of impact as the 1680 ymmv
