I am using the old standard of 214gr under a 750 A-Max in my long barreled M-99.

What has everyone else moved on to? I'm still using WC860 from Pat's Reloading for my plinking and API rounds, but want something a little more consistent for long range.

Thanks.

I still can't believe that they discontinued H50! Probably one of the most used powders since it came on the market, everyone that's used it has had good results. Did they ever give a reason for stopping the production?

There's still Reloader 50, Vihtavuori powders, US 869 and some pulldown powders out there.

Everything I've read says they just didn't sell enough to warrant making it anymore.

I guess I will have to go with RL-50.

Where are you guys finding your powders?  I have been struggling with tracking it down.

I'm seeing "shooters world" is making a powder for 50 bmg.  Seems similar to U S. 869 and very reasonable in price for today's market.

I've had poor accuracy in my AR50 with Reloader50 behind M33's and api's.  Better luck with 690 and up bullet weights.
