WC680 POWDER

Looking for feed back from those who have used this in a 22 hornet

I personally have never used 680 in a Hornet, but loaded it in a 357 a looooong time ago. Then it disappeared.
Nosler manual #3 from 1989 shows one load only for 45 grain bullet and not in heavier bullets,
Start @ 10.5 grains......2520 fps
Max @11.5 grains.......2650 fps
Using a Remington 6 1/2 primer.

It's very close to AA1680.
When supplies of W-680 ran out, I switched to 1680 in my 30 Herrett and never looked back.

I have used it in a Hornet and a 218 Bee. Never seen any reason to try anything else. I ran 11.5 grains with a 45 gr bullet in the Bee.

According to Handloader Magazine, (whose source was, according to them, St. Marks), AA1680 is WW680. Winchester (before or after Hodgdon acquired the brand rights, I'm not sure) stopped selling it as a canister powder, later Accurate picked it up thinking it would be good for 7.62x39, and then the blackout craze hit and it sold well.

Handloader Magazine profiled WW-680 in their May-June 1984 issue. A couple snippets from the article...

I tested 1680 in my hornet along with a number of other powders. It came in second in accuracy to H-110.
