Rel-12 in the 223?

[wcat]

Hi, my friend have some Reloader-12 he's not using anymore, I was thinking of trying it in my 223 this spring, with 52-53 gr bullets.
Per the burning rate, it seems very well suited for the 223, anyone here is using it in the 223? Should I buy the rest of his stock or pass on it?
Thanks.

I use it in my 222, and laid in a bit before it was taken out of production. It should be great in the 223 as well. With 52 grain bullets, I would start around 24 grains and work up carefully. Eagleye
