Hi guys,
Looking for .50 recipes using surplus WC860 powder and and 690 gr SA ball tips(M33?).  These will be for my 30" Bohica once i get it.  I am finding that good data is few & far between on the 'net, so any help from those of you with experience will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Erik

It's best to start out low and work your loads up to where you get good accuracy and no issue with cases sticking after being fired. Start out at 205 grs. and work up from there watching for excessive pressure signs.

You'll probably see your best results between 215-220 grs. and from there you can adust your loads by seating your bullets to different lengths, neck tension....

I am using the 860 with the SA 690. I started at 215 and no signs of over pressure up to 220 so far. I am running them in my Serbu
