Glad I could help. 52 gr SMK on top of 25 gr H335 is a load that seems to shoot well in any 223 I own.
My terrible little reloads...

I would use this stuff for plinking IF I could find any! I called 3 different Walmart locations this afternoon and they had none in stock, which seems to be the norm
Yeah, the .223 seems to have dried up. 22-250 has gone up in price but still seems to be available.
You'll find the magic bullet, I as well am not going to stop reloading but as far as Coyotes, and other vermint are concerned, they'll be eating these until I find something better.
I have 20 rounds prepped for the range tomorrow. I paid more attention to bullet consistency (length/weight) and OAL this time around and they're all within 0.001" of one another.
I'll be shooting 4-shot groups of 26.0gr. to 26.8gr. in 0.2gr. increments (Varget of course). I'll post the results come tomorrow, maybe I'll find some use for the pile of bullets I have by the end of the day.

Check these out from my Tikka T3 Varmint in .223 at 120 yards.
I was shooting 3 types of cartridges; 50 grain AE factory, 60 grain Sierra HP with a starting load of H335 (23.5 gr) and 75 gr. Hornady HPBT with H4895 starting load behind them (22 gr).
My rifle has a 1 in 8" twist though so it will be different.
My rifle seems to really like the H335 behind 60 gr HP. Haven't worked up the perfect load just yet, but I was out gophering with a load of 24.1 grains of H335 and I didn't miss anything I shot at, and the results were explosive.
