223 Powder Choices??

[bogie]

Anybody using Lilgun? I currently use the 3031 and H335 but it comes up as a solid choice in the books.
My CZ527 seems to like everything fairly well but then I would like to cream it out.

I use 24.4 grains 3031 with 55 grain V-Max. Very good results in my M77 Target at 3190 FPS.

I read somewhere that Win 748 was developed for use in .223. It's about $31 / lb and uses about 26.3 gr per 55 gr bullet.

Cheers.

where do you get your WC735?

The .223 is amazing with so many different powders. H4895, W748, BLC2, H335, Benchmark, Varget and my latest favorite, the WC735 powder. I have made some loads using WC735 and 55 grain bullets that I haven't been able to match with anything. This surprises me because it is a cheap surplus powder.

IMR 8208-

The stuff didn't shoot worth a darn in 308, but shot like a house on fire pushing 75 bthp's out of a T3 Varmint.

I've been using AA2230 in my Tikka T3 Varmint...got an 8 twist and I'm shooting the 69 gr Lapuas. My sweet spot with this combo is 24.4 gr of powder...bullets seated 15 thou off the lands. ...Gotta say I love this rifle and load combo!!
