One back - .223/5.56 - 55grHP / H4895
And.. - 308/7.62 / 147(150) / 748
and... - 40S&W / 155 JHP&lead / 231
This continues on for 50 years.

Generalities, I like 748 powder for rifles and 231 for pistols, but also have used: BLC(2), IMR 4831, IMR 4895, 3031, H110/296, Olin 630, unique, 2400, varget, tighgroup.....

Only got (2)-- Powders I stock,,, Unique & H 110...I don't load rifle ammo, if I did i'd shoot cast with Unique ; ) PS That would be LOW velocity
