    Reloader 15, Ramshot TAC or 2520 (cannot think of the maker just now).

    All seem to very work well in my 223s with all weights of bullets I use (69-80gns).
    Good deals with: Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.

    What worked very well for me was BLC-2 and 4895 by Hodgdon if you can find any.

    Viht N120 with 52 AMax gives me very consistent results.

    H322 with 52 grain Sierra Matchking gives me outstanding results from a 26 inch 1:12 twist barrel.
