Clearly I read the wrong article.

It is much too slow for the 223, unless you have some weird bullets weighing over 100 grains or something and have a 26"+ barrel lol

May be a weeee bit slow for .223 lol.

you could fill the case to the neck and never have a pressure problem. try varget, ram or win 748 it will work much better.

Where are you getting this research from? You will see in the link above that the burn rate of varget sits at 117 of the of the 173 podwers listed from fastest to slowest. 50BMG is at 171 of the 173 powders tested. Buy a reloading manual before you start reloading.

I am getting into reloading for .223 and I am in the process of trying to find powder when I came across a bottle of H50BMG, and wanted to know if it was ok to use in a .223.

From all my research its very close to their Varget brand, and a lot of people like Varget in 223. So my question is, would it be safe to use in 223 in terms of pressure and what-not

Is it OK to use diesel fuel in my toyota? How about nitromethane in my Dodge? These are pretty close to gasoline aren't they?

Just for interests sake, I ran this thru Quickload:

A full case of H50BMG will propel a 55gr at around 1800fps, generating about 16000psig.

Also of note, 66% of the powder will be unburnt when expelled from the barrel.


On a serious note - please do some more "research" prior to starting your reloading career. Maybe H335/WC735 or CFE223 would be a better start for you, powder wise.......

16000 psi for the first shot....... the second one with the barrel full of unburn powder might be a little higher in prussure.........

It's not even close to Varget. Where did you find that info? BLC-2, Benchmark, TAC, CFE223,RL-7 or Varget will work though. Open an account at loaddata.com if you don't want to buy some books to do some actual research.
