so much so, even tho I've tried TAC and CFE 223 and a host of other ball powders...
I just keep on circling back to BLC2 and W 748....

never let me down...



Just curious as to why you don't like H335. I have found it to be a great powder for the 223.


The Flash it gives for starters...

I've used a standard load of 25 grains of H 335, and a 55 grain SP bullet.... that blew up TWICE in a Ruger 223....
not my handloads, but factory loads... one by Remington, and then later by Black Hills.. 8 weeks a part.

both times enough to destroy the wooden stock on it...second time, screwing up the bolt that needed repair.

with ALL the other powders that work well in a 223, why bother with it?
