ACC2200 in .223?

I'm thinking about getting a CZ527 Varmint in .223 I have an 8lb jug of ACC 2200. Has anyone used this powder in this an if so how did it shoot? Thanks

Yes a lot! Send me your E- Mail address and I'll send you all my .222 and .223 data.

Pull up Accurate's site for data (pun intended). It's under Data Powders.

FWIW, I have about 30 lbs of it and use it for 223 ammo with light bullets, mostly for Service Rifle practice. Load conservatively - it spikes fast!

I wouldn't worry - a little goes a long way with this quick powder. If your 527 shoots anything like all the others, it won't matter much WHAT you feed it! I've never seen a CZ stinker. Ever.
