That is a very dangerous practice. The "I was told" source of information is often incorrect. People get numbers mixed up and their opinions may, or may not, be safe.
Only using a modern reloading manual can give proper starting loads.
I purchased this surplus powder from a reputable dealer who supplied me with the exact burn rate of the powder and starting load recipes. Perhaps I should have been more clear on "I was told".

You are correct though, I have heard there are some lots of WC820 that burn faster than H110, in which case the supplied data would be different. I do have published data for many milsurp powders, but it also has different recipes for the same powders, based on the burn rate.
