[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2412536, member: 807"] The milsurp powders I use in the 223 are WC-844, WC844T (for tracers) Russian 4198, and a surplus commercial powder WC-842. With 55 to 62 grain bullets, I use 22.5 grains of WC-844 and with the WC-842 I use 23.5 grains of powder. This very closely duplicates the military ball performance in my guns. I don't have my notebook here for the data on the 4198. It is not the best choice for 223 anyway. I load 308 with the WC-842 as well, 147 gr fmjbt with standard large rifle primer and 35.5 grains WC-842. I worked the milsurp loads up in my rifles, and you should do likewise if you decide to use those powders. here are some links to sources of milsurp supplies.
