I use a number of powders for the 223. I reload for 4 different bolt rifles, and several AR's. The 223 isn't fussy about powder, and I could probably get by with a couple rather than what I'm using now. I like a ball powder because it meters better and makes my reloading go a little faster. H335, H322, W748, WC846, Benchmark, BLC-2, X-Terminator, TAC, and Varget are what I mostly use. I also have used some of the Shooters World AR Plus. In my AR's I mainly load for accuracy and reliability, while in bolt rifles I try to get as much speed as possible, without sacrificing accuracy. Powders like the 846 and BLC-2 usually are both fast and accurate.
