Yeah it doesn't help that they keep releasing more new powders, now there is 2 new sta-ball powders and 3 new shotshell powders. Wish they would just focus on the current established powders first then after making a healthy amount to satisfy the market, then release the new powders, otherwise its likely the new powder lines will be ignored.Yes, I made a similar switch to BL-C(2). I like 748 for .223 Rem. but it can be used for .30-06. All for M1 Rifle loads.
I tried to find some 760 for 7mm Mauser and .243 a month ago, there was none around here. So I took Win. Sta-Ball 6.5, which I've used before for both. Also due to a lack of 760 at the time. Accurate 2700 was also scarce then but I saw some a week ago. Of course Sta-Ball 6.5 is a newer product and costs a little more.
For a while, Hodgdon made H414 and 760 simultaneously, they were the same powder. But I see that H414 is gone now.
We have to stay flexible in these times of scarcity.
