I just finished a couple dozen reading links to surplus WC844 and other than the usual "start 10% lower and watch for over pressure signs" warnings is there anything I need to worry about? I normally use H335 at 24.5 grains over 55 grain new production milsurp bullets but H335 is currently unavailable. So. I have just reloaded 10 each at 24 grains and going up in .5 grain increments to 26. Do I have any worries because I don't have a chrony? My reading tells me that 26 grains of WC844 doesn't exceed or even come close to the maximum.

Comments?

Thank you,
