You'll have to find out which "lot" your WC820 is. There are three different lots available and they have slightly different burn speeds; WC 820 n, WC 820 pulldown, and WC 820 f (the WC 820 I have is 10% "hotter" than H110). I find a H110 load, reduce it by 10% and use magnum primers.

For WC820 use Accurate Arms #9 data, as usual start low and work up.

That's the safest way to so it, especially if there's some doubt about what lot you have.

Starting low and checking your loads with a chronograph is good practice.
