223 reload data

Originally Posted by 2ndtimer My two favorite powders for the .223 are Ramshot TAC and Accurate 2015. I use both with bullets from 40 to 55 gr and they both work very well.

I also like Varget for 55 gr loads, and have a good supply of those loaded up with Hornady SP and Z-Max bullets. I have used lots of other powders in the past, also like Accurate 2230, Accurate 2460, and Hodgdon CFE-223, but am currently using TAC, 2015 and Varget. Am also planning on trying some IMR-8208XBR in the future.I've been hearing a lot of good stuff about the TAC. never.tried it though. Varget is just an all around awesome rifle powder. Been real curious about that CFE223. Any more info on that?

I've got 1 pound of the 8208xbr. Haven't.opened it yet. So many powders to try! Varget is one of my favs it's just hard to find these days
