[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1087613, member: 2939"] I'm not really sure how I fooled you on just listing some possible powder choices for 2900 fps 75 grain and even the weights of the charges??????? I have to wait for better weather and the local weekend only range to really shoot bench rest. My little 100 yard shoot is not a scientific test. The problems with varget are the case capacity of .223. You have to sort cases to use the highest volume and 25.3 makes them full to the neck even with a tall drop tube. The powder rod size doesn't make for good progressive loading, and It is non-existent locally. I would not use it for 75 or less grain bullets even if it was available. AR-comp is smaller rod powder and leave room in all cases at the 23.6 level. I was able to put in over 26 grains using 55 gr pils. H414 another abundant powder also both available in 8# Both of these worked better than Varget on my limited shooting test. Real testing would come out on thick concrete benches with targets out at 200 and 400 [b]acloco H4895 is my go to powder for 223 for 65 gr and heavier bullets in any 223 platform. [/b] I have never purchased H4895 [/QUOTE]
