| I've had good luck with velocity and accuracy with RL-7 in my .223.
However I am shooting lighter bullets with Nosler BT 40 grains but the velocity is really up there at 3900+ fps with wonderful accuracy.
You might want to give it a try. |

I have had very good results with 55gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips or 55gr. Sierra Hollow Point Boat Tails loaded with 25.5grs. H-4895 in LC Brass with Remington 7 1/2 Primers. In fact we have tried this load in a dozen or more .223's and it has shot less than MOA in all of them.

| Reloader 10X is coming on strong too. Especially with the 40-50 gr bullets. I'm shooting about 24.5 gr with the Hornagy 40 gr V-Max.

| I've always maintained.. it is harder to find a powder that DOESN'T work well in a 223, than it is to find one that works better than other ones... |

| I tried a lot of different powders for my 223, Id stay away from H335, its very dirty. RE7, Benchmark, & RE10X have produced some excellent results for me with 55VMAXs & 52/53 MKs. |
