Ackley Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) heres another good link for reference using Varget 25gr looks the best http://www.accuratereloading.com/223rem.html Edited January 2, 2012 by Ackley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Plenty of people like Varget for 223, but I never found it very good at the lighter end of 223 bullet range. I would be looking at Benchmark or maybe H322 or H335 if you want to use Hodgdon. I've always found Vihtavuori powders work well for me, and would be trying N130, N133 or N135. I use N133 for 50gr Vmax, but N135 is probably slightly better for 55gr bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 In the 15 years I have reloaded for .223 I have never found a better powder than winchester 748. But remember you need to use a magnum primer with this powder. I find 25.4 grains a good load but my rifle has a worn throat and I need to load longer than normal which is only about 6 tho off the lands. I am not advising you use this load without developing it in your :good: rifle Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie g Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I helped a local lad load up some 55 grain blizkings with vit 133 powder for his 223. 24.2 grains and he reported back it shot silly little groups very happy with the load.

garyb Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I used to run 26.0 or 26.5 of Varget with good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
