Good .223 powder for heavy bullet?

[Attention]

Hi I had ordered Varget to try in my .223 but as you probably all know it's almost imposible to get...Any sugestion on what other powder I could use that gave you good results.Bullets I have on hand are 75g A-Max and 70g Bergers.

I've had good luck with Win 748 and Benchmark. Better than Varget FWIW

Imr4895 and H4895 can both handle heavy 223 bullets. I however have been unable to produce anything better than moa at 100 yards with 75 gr Hornady match HPBT's. Benchmark eh, I might have to try that.

I've had sub-moa loads with Reloader-15 in my .223 with both 75 Gr A-MAX and 75 Gr HPBT in and around 25.7 grains....

VV N-140 also works

I'm heading out now to see if they have any of the powders you guys suggested.
Thanks Attention

Their out of almost everything all I could get for .223 was H322.So I grabed it.
I'll try it out next week.

While I've been using WW748 for my .223 loads I've been very impressed with RL 19 and 22 in other calibers so will be looking at RL 15

In the absence of Varget I have been getting good results with 24.0gr of H4895 under a 75gr HPBT

My favourite is RL15 or N140.

I just tripped into 5lbs of Varget in Medhat this week... they said it just came in so perhaps there is a new shipment in the country?

Big bullets in 223

Go with the stick powders leave the ball powders for the 40 to 60gr bullets they work well there

Liberty on site, shot a .530" group at 300 yards with Kreiger/McFee ,7.7 twist28" 700 action.

Varget & berger 80gr

Brothers 223 28" Hart 1/7 twist, 80gr Sierra's & VT 540 .600" 5 shots at 300y
My Factory Rem 700 XCR LRT 1/9 with 75gr Bergers VT 540 .873" at 300y can't seem to run with those customs
RL 15 another good powder best for higher velocity

 

[Attention]

Nice shooting

If you have it locally, TAC by Ramshot is excellent for heavy bullets in 223 and very cost effective. I am just working up a load for 52g to see if I can get the same performance I get from the 308.
