Description
Hodgdon BL-C(2) is a spherical rifle powder that began as a military powder used in 7.62 NATO. That background gives it natural applications for .308 Winchester, while its usefulness extends across a range of popular small-caliber rifle cartridges.
For handloaders working with .204 Ruger, .223 Remington, .17 Remington, or 22 PPC, BL-C(2) works extremely well. Its broad list of stated applications makes it a practical powder to consider when consulting published Hodgdon data for compatible rifle loads.
BL-C(2) made an immediate impression when it was introduced to handloaders, finding early success with benchrest shooters and other target shooters. It remains a purpose-built rifle powder with a history tied to both military-origin 7.62 NATO use and precision-minded target shooting.
Made in the USA, Hodgdon BL-C(2) is offered in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. As with every propellant, use only published load data and follow the instructions and warnings on the product label.

So far this powder has performed well in my 308.
I purchased this powder to use in my 308 and my 30 06. First trial in 308 was at low volume and shot a decent group. A lot of trials to go.

BLC-2
This is the go-to powder for 5.56 ammo. Top tier level powder that is so easy to measure in a RCBS electronic dispenser. Good Stuff, Get Some

BL-C(2) Powder - Not just for 7.62 NATO/.308 Win.
My passion is working up accurate handloads for vintage military bolt-action rifles, my favorite of which is the many iterations of the venerable Lee Enfield family of rifles. I have worked up fabulously accurate handloads using BL-C(2) with the .303 British cartridge in my BSA No.1 MkIII and my Long Branch No.4 MkI. Even with the thin, 100 yr. old whippy barrel in the No.1 I have a load that shoots into 1 1/2 MOA and 1 MOA with the 88 year old two groove No.4. This is as good or better than many of my modern rifles. Do yourself a favor and don't overlook the versatility of this excellent powder from Hodgdon!

Good Powder for .375 H&H
I use this powder to load for my .375 H&H magnum. With 250 grain Sierra bullets, it yields a muzzle velocity of 2840 fps, much higher than any other powder I've tried. The resulting trajectory is about the same as my .30-06 w/165 grain bullets and my .300 WSM w/180 grain bullets. Accuracy is about 1.5 MOA. It also meters well.
