Anyone ever tried 3031 in the 223....

My Remington ADL and VLS in 223, both seem to love a charge of 25.5 grains of 3031
with bullet weights from 40 to 55.... it really loves it with 53 grain V Maxes....

Was at the range this afternoon, trying out 7 different powders with max charges and the 53 V Max....
each did a great job of 10 shot groups...

but once again, the champion was 3031, with the 25.5 grain charge..
the 25 grain charge equals the other's groups...

27grains4895,
26.5 grs 4064,
25 grain AR Comp,
27 grain Varget,
25 gr H 322,
27 grains 4320...

10 shot groups...the first 5 shots of 3031, was a hole about half the size of a dime....
