    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.

    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.
