I am thinking about buying some WC872 pulldown powder to use in 300 Win Mag and smaller cases, 30-06, 25-06, 308, 243 Win, 7.62x54r, 303 British etc. From what I have read online even a full case over heavier bullets will net me slower velocities and pressures compared to standard powders. Some reloaders use duplex loads to increase velocities but I would be OK with the reduced velocities. What dangers might exist with using a full case of slow powder like WC872 in a 30-06 cartridge for example?
Edit: One concern I have is ringing the bore. Supposedly this can happen with too slow of a powder for a cartridge/bullet combination.
