Loads of good powders for the 223.

Another vote for Vihtavuori powders , with n133 or n135 being my medicine.

From the Hodgdon range- H4895 and Benchmark are also excellent... I used the later powder to zip a 40 grn Nosler at 3820 fps, which was actually flatter shooting than my 204.

can any one recommend a good all round powder for my .223

Vit 133 - plenty available in the UK, wide tolerance on load charge without loss of accuracy on 50gn bullets

[Mutt]

N135 for 55grn Vmax and N140 for 69grn Nosler Custom Comp

[Northern Monkey]

I use N140 with a 77gn SMK.

[Night Stalker]

Viht N120 for me, great with 50 52 53 and 55 grainers and you use less than with most othe powders so get more bangs from a tub of powder.

N130 with 50gr blitz kings

+1 for Reloader 15 if you're using heavier .223's in the 69-80gr range, very consistent and clean burning.

Tried several powders and have settled on Viht N133. A very clean and accurate powder which in my area is easily obtainable.

N130 with 50gr blitz kings

This with 55gr blitzkings
also 40gr noslers #39510

Lots of mentions for TR140...economical.

I don't shoot .223 (as yet) but take a look at the reload swiss range. I think RS40 was a .223 powder, same stable as TR140 about £55 a kilo when available (as it will be soon if not already).

HPS were advertising it at the Phoenix.

H-335 works quite well, and meters well in most powder measures. I use it exclusively for 55 grain bullets. I worked up to Nostler's recomended accuracy load of 25.0 grains. I use whichever SR, or SR magnum primer I can get. It shoots more acurately than most people are capable of shooting.

Hi Alan

what was your load with H4895 as got a good bit left from my 243

been using reloder 7 with the 204 and 223

In answer to the original post, Varget is a good all round powder for .223 loads. It can be used with all bullet weights. It usually gives excellent results.
