Every one seems to have a favorite...

But I've said this for decades.... its really harder to find a powder that works best in a 223, than it is to find one that DOESN'T work well in a 223.

I load all sorts of wide variety of powders in the 223, to include a lot of pistol and shotgun powder reduced loads.

Pretty much ALL of them can turn in "minute of sage rat" results to 200 yds and beyond...

Some are better than others for benchrest contests, but for practical field work, about all of them work real well...

we should have all the other cartridges work so well.
