Sorry fellas Im sure its been covered....
What is the closest thing to H870 you can still buy.........
I know of US 869 but have read of Mil surplus WC872 and WC860 yet cant find none. Have also read of Accurate Arms 8700 but cant seem to find that either............Am I stuck with US869 and does it perform the same[?] Thanks in advance[:)]

H870 is gone, as you say. So is Accurate 8700.
Of the currently listed powders, Retumbo is a bit faster than 870, while both H5010 and H50BMG are slower. Ramshot Big Boy is the slowest they sell, and it might also work for you, even though it's a wee bit faster than Retumbo. Norma 165 is also a match to 870, but the chances of finding any are about as slim.
What, pray tell, are you shooting that needs powder that slow?0 -

300 ultra mag. A guy who has been helping me had some 220 round nose Hornadys Loaded for his with H870 and we shot them through mine after we installed the Brake. My gun has never put that nice of a group on paper. But If I cant get it it dont really matter[^][V] Im trying to develop a Load for 210 Bergers as well0 -
Try patsreloading.com for WC860. Looks like he still has it. I've purchased stuff from him a few times with no problems. He encourages people to call him with any questions about surplus powders as well. 0 -
