Anyone use this powder in 223 with 40 or 50 gr bullets?
I can buy some but have never used it.

Should work well. 19 to 20 grs start.

I've run it for decades..

low end, 12 grains or so..

max; 22.5 for 55s, you can work up to 24 grains depending on rifle and chamber...

this is for bolt actions, I don't do ARs...

Yeah, Ive used a bunch. Its good stuff and will generate velocities like others, but with slightly less powder. Not a big deal to some, but with powder at $40 per pound and a good day on the killing fields for PDs or gophers using up 1,000 rounds, it adds up. I figure to save a pound on a good day..$40 is $40...gas money or whatever.

I like H4198 for 50-55gr bullets, measures pretty decent compared to IMR 4198.
21.5 gr work's in my carbine length gas AR every time and it's a super accurate load with any v-max.
Same for bolt guns very accurate loads can be worked up with little effort. Start around 19gr & go higher in little bits, find the load you like and start shooting groups for it. A couple can's of this will go a long way's compared to CFE Blc-2 748 type powders.
I could get by real easy with just this powder, not the velocity of the slower powders, but will easily do 3000fps without all the flash and bang..

I've used it with 50 and 55 grain bullets in .223 and 5.56. Also good in .444 Marlin, .45-70, and .458 SOCOM. SOCOM with heavier bullets, .45-70 with lighter ones.

Also works well in 222 Rem (50 grain) and 221 Fireball (40 grain)

Yep...its the shizz in a .222

Thanks guys.

I burned a lot of it in my misspent youth, killing crows with a .222. It also works well with lighter bullets in the .358 Winchester.

Good powder.
