I picked up an 8lb jug of Benchmark yesterday. Not what I was looking for but all I could find. I figured I better grab it the way things are now. I've never used it in .223 but I've heard good about it. Anyone here use it and do you like it?

My favorite load load for my benchrest 223 uses benchmark and a 55Gr nosler pill. It is super clean and very consistant

I got a chance to work on some loads with Benchmark today. I've settled on 24.6 grains with a 53gr Vmax. It's one of the most accurate loads I've found. Clean burning also. I'm sold on Benchmark.

I bought some Benchmark a few years ago because I couldn't find any Varget locally (rural SW OK) and it was fine in my .223 and worked great in my Compact .308 with 125 grain bullets.
