I have settled on Ramshot TAC for both. I get good accuracy out of vanilla Hornady FMJ and it's relatively cheap. I've used BL-C(2) and CFE 223, both with good results and I'd buy them if I couldn't get TAC.
I was looking for an 8# TAC and no one has them at the moment. It made me go back to the drawing board to add some alternate powder loads to my workbench cheat sheet. I added Accurate 2230 and Shooter's World AR Plus. I'd enjoy the chance to try AR Plus, as it costs even less than TAC.
Lastly I ran into Hodgdon Benchmark and IMR 8208. Both look like they'd be suitable as well. Yikes they're kind of expensive though. What gives? Are these two powders that bench shooters chasing accuracy use?
