I have found that the accuracy gets better and better, the stiffer the charge...

I've been running it with 40 to 60 grain bullets....40s and 53s are my two favorite bullet weights...

40s, 28 grains plus...

53s, 27.5 grains

60s.. 26.5 grains...

I agree, that is good info. I can see where benchmark would be better than my old standby H335 for the lighter pills. I may have to buy a pound of that powder and try it out.. John, if you go to Walmart, you will find the 40gr. Nosler varmageddon bullets for about $15.00/box of 100. One of my buddies likes those bullets in his 223rem and 22-250
