Anybody reloading for their XCR-L in .223...and what "recipe" is most accurate?

Hey guys, I have a new XCR in-bound (my first black gun ) and while I know these aren't match-grade shooters, I do plan to put mine to work as as a varmint gun and DO plan on reloading for it. I'm prepared to start at ground zero, but thought I'd see if anyone here would be willing to share their load data, what you've had the best accuracy with, that sort of thing. I've been using Varget in my bolt gun with great success, and have that...some CCI BR4 primers...and a nice smattering of bullets to try. Hornady 53gr. VM, 55gr. VM, 60gr. VM, 60 gr. BTHP, and 69gr. SMKs. Look forward to hearing what you've come up with, thanks for taking a moment to reply.

I use win NT brass, cci BR4 primer, 27grns of BLC2, 50grn Barnes VG. Or 25gr of BLC2 and a 55grn hornady sp.
Probably best to see what powder is available that is suitable for 223 and Buy it in bulk NOW. Options might be limited to what you can find.
Higginsons has cfe 223 still in stock, id try that.

I'm all out of H335 and cant find any locally but 25.0 grs H335 in WCC brass w/ 55 gr Hornady FMJ shot 1.25" @ 100 yds. When I get more H335 Ill do some load development.
