The BL(C)-2 worked well for me in my 1:9 twist Colt with 50 grain VMAX, didn't work too well with the 69 grain Match Kings. Bought some Varget to try and sold the rifle before I had a chance to work up a load for it. My BL(C)-2 load was a tiny bit over max so I'd rather not print it here, also I used a standard small rifle primer instead of the magnum primer and ignition was never a problem through 3500 rounds.

The BL(C)-2 meters wonderfully and stays very consistent out of my RCBS measure, which is great for loading in quantity. Also burned clean enough to shoot close to 1000 rounds in one weekend with no failures.
