you can go with a stiffer charge with BLC2.. to about 27.5 grains, and it should yield a tighter group in my experiences...you should be running a one in 9 twist with that..also work up, as you should in any rifle..

if that doesn't give as tight of a group as you'd like, consider trying Varget.. it works extremely well with the heavier bullets in the 223

26 grains of AR2208/Varget behind the 65 Sierra SPTBT projecile works for me in my 1 in 9" twist Stevens. Also works with 60 V-Max but they aren't so accurate in my rifle. 1" at 150 yards is bloody good mate.

Benchmark was good for me, then went to Vit N133 24.8grns under 52grn A-MAX when no Benchmark available, superb for fox out to 300 metres
