    US 869 powder

    Anybody hear of this powder? I see that Hodgdon has data for it.

    Also read that Winchester powders are now licensed to Hodgdon.

    By virtue of the loads and calibers selected for use with the propellant, the stuff looks a lot like another 50 BMG/20mm surplus number like WC-860 or WC-872.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
