[QUOTE="Norman, post: 3048664, member: 4232"] Varget works well for heavier bullets, but it can be a pain to meter. A charge master helps a lot, but it’s slower. The most accurate powder I’ve found for Hornady 55 grainers in my rifles is Benchmark. I don’t get top velocity, but with bulk with my SPR I get around 3/4 MOA to 1 MOA with bulk Hornady FMJ/SP bulk loaded on my 550. Not quite as accurate in the SPR, but as accurate in others for me is CFE223. I’ve come to love this powder for 55-77 grain projectiles. Ball powders are more user friendly in 223, as extruded powders tend to ‘bridge’. I buy all my powder, and pretty much all my primers from Gene Sears in El Reno. When they get more CFE223 in I’ll buy a keg or two. Their public website is store.thirdgenerationshootingsupply.com You can pick it up in person and save hazmat [/QUOTE]
