Researchers tested 160 products from 70 top protein powder brands, which represented 83 percent of the market, the report says. For the study, an independent certified laboratory ran nearly 36,000 ...
The C was to indicate the propellant burned "cooler" than traditional Improved Military Rifle propellants. Olin continued manufacturing WC846 for both civilian ammunition and 7.62×51mm NATO cartridges [10] after the war.
