I tried H4895 and the results were ok. I thought it could do
Better so switched to N140 powder. Still
Load testing with that.


My barrel is a 1-8 looking for a bullet for the foxes out to 300yards.
Any suggestions? (If you don't mms me asking on this post?)

I find 40g Vmax shoot best in my CZ527. My powder of choice is 26g of Benchmark. Local RFD is currently out of the 40g Vmax, so I took a box of Scierra Blitzkings in 40g to try....it'll be interesting to see how they go compared to the Vmax. Only real visible difference is the flat base on the Scierra as opposed to the slight boat tail of the Vmax.

I tried H4895 and it produced some excellent flame thrower effects from the mod. It shot OK but I found it far better suited to the .308.

If you really want a good powder for .223 (and if you can find it) try H322 or Benchmark. But far better to stick with Vhit N130, N133 or N140 as these are less likely to become unavailable.
