H335 or AA2230. Both meter excellently in my Dillon 550B.
.223 powder?

26.5 grains of IMR 4198 works very well pushing 53 grain Sierra match in my Axis. Four shots in one hole at 100 yards, (fifth one off because I pulled it). My Axis doesn't like the 53 grain V-Max. Groups were similar to the OP's, often bigger.

Another for CFE223, I use it in my 22-250. Works nicely.

24 gr. of Benchmark, Winchester small rifle primers, Federal Gold Medal cases, Sierra 52 gr. Match Kings in my AR-15 with 24" SS bull barrel (1:10 twist) = 5 shot .28 inch group. Can't argue with Benchmark.

AWOL that is a perfect sight.
Just finished the batch. It took a long time because I trimmed, chamfered, pocket uniformed & flash hole deburred the brass. That takes a while even with power tools. .223 Rem is tough to load. I far prefer loading .270 or .308...
I will fire these tomorrow at the range.
These are:
Brass trimmed to 1.75"
CCI Bench Rest primer
55gr V-Max
25.5gr Varget
OAL 2.260"
The load I use in my Savages LRPV 1 in 9 twist & BVSS 1 in 9'' twist
Hornady 53 gr V-max
CCI 400
Winchester Brass
24 gr RAMSHOT EXTERNINATOR
AOL 2.370'' (Jammed to lands -will not fit mag single shot only)
will consistantly shoot in 1's & 2's @ 100 yds
Velocity 2240 fps
Hornady 53 gr V-max

Is that a typo?? 2240 is epicly slow. 22wmr is that speed
It would appear to be about 1000fps slow
3240 is a hot load but realistic for .223Rem
