just started reloading a few months ago and started with .40 sw. I've had very good luck with the .40 using AA no. 5. This is my primary handgun load but now I think I'm ready to move onto my primary rifle round, that is the .223. in process of buying trimmer, swager, and misc.
Before I but anything, what is a good powder for .223 so I can look around locally? Mainly these will be used for plinking. I plan on using x-treme bullets jacketed 55 gr fmj as I also plan on buying more .40s from them. this will be my first attempt at rifle rounds so any suggestions or tips welcomed.
Notes: powder may also be used for 30-06 and .308 win, platform is the bushmaster xm15e2s.
