Favorite 223 powder

[got to go]

Tried the search engine for "favorite 223 powder" and got nothing. I just bought a Mossberg mvp rifle from Cabelas that was on sale. I have brass, bullets and primers but would like to know what you guys are using for powder ?

 

[Brianma65]

CFE223 works great for me.

 

[silverfoxdj]

I have to say Varget but I don't experiment that often it just works for me

 

[PitBull1973]

I use Varget mainly for 69gr sierra MK
322 with 55gr
Other good powders are
8208XBR
BLC-2
335
RE 15 if u can find some

 

[IvoB]

H322 Winchester brass and federal primers

 

[PitBull1973]

I'm using IVI brass (very tough)
23 grs of 322
CCI primer
Hornady HPBT 55gr
Very good for CQB


For distance I'm using
69gr SMKs
25.3 grs of Varget
CCI BR primers

 

[Rickster66]

My go to powders: H322 or H335 or Varget. H322 H335 are cheapest for plinking and use Varget for precision long range.

Varget
H335
CFE223
W748
IMR4320 will even work in a pinch.

How far Pit

 

[PitBull1973]

I seat them to mag length.
69gr load I shoot out of my SA20. All at 2.255
The 55gr is mag length also and they get fired out of my other ARs

 

[silverfoxdj]

What distance with those loads?

 

[frigpig]

I found Varget to be not great at longer distances. 500m I like N540 with 69gr Match Kings. I love that powder, I really do.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Can't shoot beyond 200 at the range for now so Varget should do the job to 300 at least (I hope)

 

[Gatehouse]

Benchmark is my huckleberry

 

[Paulinski]

Win748 / Tac / RL15 / Varget

Going to try CFE223

 

[jongun]

CFE 223 is my #1 and I also like 4198. Got a couple pounds of 4895 I'd like to experiment with.

I have some Benchmark, what bullets do you find work well for target do you use if you shoot target..

 

[chrisco]

I'm using WIN748
60 grain V-Max
68 grain BTHP
75 grain BTHP

Getting good results with all of these

Shoot straight - chrisco

I'm shooting out to 300m very good results
