New to the world of the .223 Rem, and from what I can read it is pretty hard to be unsuccesful, but I've spent a lot of time behind the action of other guns that were supposed to be simple...

I just purchased a used Browning Composite Stalker and looking forward to loading it. Looking to put 50 grain NBT's down the barrel.

I don't currently have any suitable powders on hand, so looking for opinions on where to start powder wise. For those that want to contribute, please list in order of preference the first three powders you would try.

Thanks in advance.
