Ideal Powder for Steyr?

[megalift]

I've just bought and RCBS setup and want to have a go, can any of you suggest a powder to load my .223 Steyr Promountain hunter; it's mainly used for Foxing and I'm thinking 55 grain Amax or Sierra's. Also, which primers do you prefer?

Thanks in advance!

Viht 130 or 133, CCI primer, 50-55grn Vmax , start around 23grns of powder and work up till you find the most accurate. 23.5 grns suited my Steyr best and gave 3480fps with Viht 130, when loaded with more powder the velocity rose but the groups opened up.
