Since I am stocking up, what powder do you like for the heavy weights in the 223AI?

I'm not an AI yet ... but for my .223rem (plain vanilla) ... RE-15 and Varget ... for the 69SMK and higher ...

For the 75gr Vmax, Varget and H4895 have been the most accurate in my 1in8 twist.

I'm driving H-335,with single digit SD's and it meters like it has eyes.
Am driving a 2.480" COAL,with 75 A-Max kissing lands behind 26.0grs for 3100fps+.
The temp sensitivity issue,hasn't been realized,in my locale..............................

Heaviest I have used so far is the 64 gr Win PP. Varget and 748 both work very well.

I thought you ran the H-335 up to 55grainers, and then moved to RE-15 for the heavier bullets?

What made you change your mind? I thought you'd like to "rule the world" with RE-15 ? ............. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

'15 is my landslide favorite,if choosing one.
It also does good in the 223/223AI,but '335 dumps easier and offers a little more speed,without accuracy puking.
I really like '2200,but am down to 16lbs and am afeared to shoot it too hard and lament running out.........................

I don't know anything about '2200 ... but I do have both RE-15 and H-335 ... I was about to load up some 75g A-Max's using RE-15 ... but I'll do it with 335 instead ... thanks for the heads-up ...

Components go faster,through rifles that really deliver.
The appeal of a great rifle,is something I cain't fend.
Damned 223AI,is the worst of the bunch....................
