Hodgdon Bench Rest Powder

[panayoti]

Anybody used hodgdon Bench Rest Powder?
Considering using it in 223/556 with 68/69 gr boolits.
I was thinking of using it as a sub for vihtovouri n140.
It must good it's called "bench rest"

Not familiar with "Bench Rest" I have used :Benchmark" powder and it works well for me.

I do not shoot bullets heavier than 60 gr though.
I have tried that path and I get best accuracy and less drop with 55 gr V-Max.

I looked on Hodgdon sight and No powder by Bench Rest was in the lineup.

You are correct benchmark is what I was thinking

Boils down to what your rifle likes.
Try it and see if it likes it with the 68/69 gr .
My research shows Varget and H4895 along with 8208 is what most like with that weight.

I have tried varget. Ok
Not great
