Anyone using BLC-2 powder in their AR10?

[ClayDirt]

Been trying to develop a load for the AR10T for awhile now. I have used 155 Amax, 168 Nosler CC, 168 SMK, and 175 SMK bullets. I also have used several powders now; Varget, RL15, and now BLC2.

The best load thusfar seems to be the 175 SMK 45.6 g of BLC2 Winchester brass CCI LRP with a COAL of 2.810.

Anyone running a similar load?

What kind of velocity you getting? Its been years since I played with that powder but I found it never got up to speed compared to other powders, varget being the powder I settled on.

Oh that and it seemed dirtier than the others and that from a Varget user!

I dunno, havent bump it thru the chronograph yet.

Yeah, its diffinately dirtier than Varget for sure.

I was looking at loads for 175gr bullets and BLC-2 had one of the highest velocities of max loads. Almost tried some today but i had my mind set with varget.

Anticipating my ar10 soon and wanted to hear any advice/recommendations from others. I have great success using BLC-2 in my ar15 and wanted to load the .308 with the same powder.

Any luck with 175gr projectiles, BLC-2, out of an ar10?

45.6gr of BL-C(2) in my bolt gun, gives me 2665 fps with 175 SMK. 24" barrel. Temp. 85

BLC-2 45.6 grain w/ 168 amax is one hole in my AR-10.

Highflyer and irondude, thank you very much for sharing your load data!
