[QUOTE="shegs, post: 234575, member: 12362"] I had similar problems with Varget,not getting the larger loads into the case( I use Remington brass ). The most I could use was 27.0 grains. Anything above that would ease the head back out a few thou when I took the round out of the bullet seating die. I have started using H335, which is a ball propellant and not as bulky as Varget. Using a RCBS Uniflow powder measure it gives amazingly consistent charge weights, having said that, I read somewhere that H335 was the original propellant used when the .223/5.56 was conceived. Initial testing seems good with 100 yards groups averaging 5/8" out of a cheap CZ527 Hunter. [/QUOTE]
