.Interested in 8lb and 1lb. Let me know what you have, price, and your location. I am located in Ft. Walton Beach, FL
Thanks.
I've also read that W296 is same as H110. My limited testing shows they did not produce the same results in 2 firearms tried. At the time of my testing, I was low on H110 and had more W296 on hand, so I wanted to test W296 to see about using it in the Blackout.Winchester 296 is the same as H110.
A difference in lots can account for those differences as well.I've also read that W296 is same as H110. My limited testing shows they did not produce the same results in 2 firearms tried.

M1 Carbine: With the same weighed charges, I got better accuracy with W296 (loads were not chronographed)...not a huge difference, but could be seen without resorting to measuring groups. Impact point was close enough to not have to change sight settings.
300 Blackout: With the same weighed charges, I got much better accuracy with H110. Specifically the groups were larger and flyers present with W296. W296 gave average of 45fps more than H110 in the same firearm on the same day of testing...about 5 minutes between chronographing, letting the bbl cool with a fan between testing each 5 shots. Would have needed to tweak the sight settings.
Setting my powder measure for a given charge weight with H110, emptying the measure of H110 and then filling with W296, and weighing the thrown W296 charges. W296 thrown charges were a few tenths of a grain heavier. Don't remember the exact amount heavier, but around 0.3-0.4 grain heavier than the 19.0gr thrown charges of H110.
Now my testing took place a few years ago, so that could be a factor. Based upon my experience, if one were to substitute W296 for H110, I'd only load up a few rounds at first to test before jumping in with loading up hundreds or more of rounds. You may have to tweak your loads.
More like H 335 / AA 2230, plus it's burn rate varies from lot # to lot #WC844 is much slower than H110/W296.
