    Anybody try 123gr A-Max, Lapua Brass, and BL-C2 powder?

    I have ten rounds each with varying loads.

    28.3 28.5 28.7 28.9 29.1

    Any thoughts or opinions with this set up? I'm hopefully going to get out this weekend.

    If you check the reloading data for the Grendel on the AA website you will see that BL-C2 is one of the powders on the chart for the 123gr bullets, and that will give you an idea as to your Max loads. BL-C2 can give you pretty decent velocities, but it has the reputation for being really dirty. That is why so many are excited about getting new powders like Leverevolution and 8208 tuned in to the Grendel cartridge. Speed without the coal miners syndrom.

    My experience is that it is dirty. BUT...also VERY accurate. My smallest groups ever were BLC2 until I found the current XBR load for the 107 Sierras.
