Who uses BLC2 successfully

I use it in 223 / 556 gas guns both for 55 training ammo and with 73 grain Bergers

I run it in my plinking loads because it flows well through a powder throw. Throw some BLc2 in a 223 with 50s, 55s, 62s, etc. And they will do well for banging steal or speed drills.

Seen it do real well in .223 ai bolt gun with 77g bullets. Not a favorite, but meters well and plenty consistent inside 500 yards for practical shots.

I've been using BLC-2 in my 6.5 Grendel since I put a Bartlien light varmint barrel on my Howa mini. It's been surprisingly temp stable and extremely accurate. The rifle was supposed to be for my kids and has become a short range benchrest setup for local club events(sadly not officially recognized matches). Not winning compared to some of the purpose built and tuned rigs, however aggregate groups around 1/4 to 3/8" over six five shot groups at 100 and 5/8" at 200 yards. Loaded under 123 Scenars in Hornady brass.

BLC-2 is one of three powders I keep stocked up on. It's also surprisingly accurate in all of my AR's with every bullet combo I've tried. Works well in 308's out to 600 yards with 168 Matchkings and the classic 155 Scenars. Had really good results in a 6.5 Creedmoor with 123 Scenars as well. Not the fastest in the Creedmoor for the bullet weight but 10 round groups in the .4" range at 100 was decently acceptable. And a friend who recently moved to Vegas had really good results in his 6GT with it although I don't know his brass or bullet choices with it.

Overall I ended up trying this powder because at a certain time it was all I could find for certain rifles and now it's a staple on my shelf. Helps that it meters really well too. Like better than any other powder I have ever tried.

I use it for 5.56 and 308 in the gas guns. Works really well on the progressive press.

Good to know. I have a grendel that I use suppressed and one that I don't use suppressed. I may just load the blc2 in the one that I don't use the suppressor on.

For 308, are you guys loading with 155s & light bullets, or going up to 175s, etc?

155 gr-175 gr. It’s not the best for all applications, but its damn good for most things. I usually keep at least 32 lbs of it on hand. 308’s loaded on a progressive are hungry.
