| I have found VV N130 and N133 pretty clean burning - something which you (sadly) can't say about many of the Hodgdon powders. Otherwise, H335 is a favourite accuracy wise. - mike

| I've been playing with Hodgen Benchmark for a couple of months now. I've tried about all suitable powders, and this cannot be beat in my .222, .223, and 7mm-08.
Praise be to the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

| Hello SD Shooter,
Many of us who shoot the 15/16 rifle in XC matches use Reloader 15 with that very bullet. Ranges shot are 2-3-and 600 yards. Switch to the 80 grain SMK for the 600, but at the 2-3 the 69SMK is outstanding. These are service type rifles, not optics and good shooters from a sling can keep the bulk of the shots in the 10 and X ring at those distances. W/ a bolt gun and optics from a support, very, very accurate and again, RE15 works well. Some do use Varget due to it's stability in temp. changes. Good Luck. |

From a cost and accuracy standpoint it's damn hard to beat Accurate 2230C. Bill T. |

| Either RL-7 or Benchmark. If you can't do it in a 223Rem with either of those two it simply isn't worth doing. AllanD

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

| +1 more for the Benchmark.Tried it in 4 rifles so far, all loved it. Much cleaner than H335, and in my rifles, more accuarate. |
