What is the HODGDON POWDER CO., INC. - BL-C(2) SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER?
HODGDON POWDER COMPANY BL-C(2) SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER


A spherical powder, BL-C(2) began as a military powder used in the 7.62 NATO and naturally has applications for 308 Winchester.

When it was first introduced to the handloader, benchrest shooters and other target shooters made it an instant success. BL-C(2) works extremely well in the 204 Ruger, 223 Remington, 17 Remington, 22 PPC and many more.

Safe Garand Loads
BL (C) 2 is the classic choice for loading M1/M2 (WW2/Korea/Vietnam Era) ammunition for the M1 Garand/Springfield 1903, or 1917 Remington. I also use it for my pre-war Pre-64 Model 70 , PO Ackley Mexican Mauser 308, and my commercial prewar mauser in 280 Remington. Although these rifles are stronger, they are based on pre-1945 manufacturing technology and pressure limits. I developed a load for my granddaughter that uses a 125 grain bullets with BL(C) 2 powder ithat not only is super accurate in her HRA Garand but is comfortable to shoot in the John Garand matches.

An Excellent Powder for 5.56 Caliber!
I use this powder to reload 5.56/.223 cartridges but have also used it for .308 rifle loads. It meters consistently through my reloading equipment and it burns cleanly. I find it is most accurate when loaded to about 95% of a given max load as found in reloading manuals.
