[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 552963, member: 28471"] I like the Hodgdon Extreme powders and IMR 8208 XBR has become a favorite. I load 28.2grs in a .223AI over 50gr BK's for 3700FPS. Typically a fuller case means more accuracy and Varget, Benchmark and 8208 would be my choices. Try moving over to Rem 7 1/2s. the CC450 is to hot for a .223 IMO. H335 and BLC 2 would be others, however a little more temp sensitive. 3400FPS in a stock chamber .223 pushing a 53gr is moving... Brass prep will help get you there. Weight and head stamp sort your brass you'll need cases around 91.00-93.00 max to get there. 91.00 -92.00 being ideal! Jon [/QUOTE]
