Powder for 223 in AR

[tiger rag]

Just finished of the last of my Varget.Looking for something better can you recomend a powder for 55fmjbt in a 20" AR? Looking for decent range ammo,cost and availability is a factor Thanks.

 

[dakotasin]

h-322 and h-335.

 

[Seafarer12]

335 is a good one.

 

[shootinxd]

AA2230,Works for me.

 

[brentwal]

W748

 

[Doug b]

H 335 and magnum small rifle primer.

 

[Evenflo76]

AA 2015 here.

 

[midnights]

Reloader 10 for me

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Get some Accurate Arms 2230 and don't look back.

If you decide to shoot bullets weighing 62 grains or more...use Reloder 15.

Varget is a bit over rated...its AWESOME for 68 grain and heavier bullets, but Varget just ain't all that good for the lighter bullets IMO.

 

[Bush Pilot]

+1 on H335, clean and it meters well.

 

[neal7250]

H-335 is the Mack daddy for the 223. It is all that I use.

 

[MDW GUNS]

25 grain of WIN 746

aa2230 or ramshot tac has worked great for all my 223 loads

 

[lordgroom]

IMR-4895 groups .68" at 100 yds with 55 gr FMJBT and I haven't even tried tuning the seating depth yet.

I'm using Varget. But all the suggested powders look good from my reloading data. Also, RL 15. I have had really good luck with RL19 and RL 22 in my magnums. RL powders are pretty easy to measure, and I don't want to trickle for a semi-auto.

BL(C)-2, TAC are some others.

I saw Varget last night at range for 28.95/lb!

 

[adkpete]

I like Ramshot TAC and H335

 

[George757]

AA 2230 works great!

 

[matrem]

It's too bad we can't buy powder in in 1/4 lb containers.The more experimenting,the better.I have experimented a fair amount(there are quite a few mostly full containers on top shelf of loading bench),but I have to keep buying more H335.

 

[rerick]

I use H335 and AA2230

 

[cpttango30]

Here are what I use albeit I don't have a ar mine is a bolt gun.

748 for cold weather
Varget
2015
Benchmark never did any good with this.

My current load is 24.5gr 2015 with a 50gr v-max.

 

[frankd4]

Wcc844

WCC844 from Wideners or pats reloading its what the Millatary use its close to H335 about 10% hotter.

 

[RustyFN]

H335 and W748.
Rusty

 

[elkhuntingfool]

W748

I've shot 3031 as well - great groups.

 

[tiger rag]
