I'm still needing to work up a 55gr FMJ load with H335 and #41 primers but I bet its still going to be close to the same 25gr's I use with the normal primers. I wasn't going to buy any more powder types but it looks like I might have to try some BL-C2 for the hell of it since I have so many #41 primers that don't like the extruded powders like Varget, even though I'm using them with the H335 and 62gr FMJ's with decent luck so far. I only have 21 of the 77gr bullets to play with to see if I like them or not, but am going this week to pick up 500 69gr MK for $100, does this seem like an OK price for them? I use it(Benchmark) for my 60gr Nosler BT varmint loads with good accuracy using 23.5 gr's and CCI400 or Rem 7 1/2 primers. It looks like the Benchmark does well with a speed of 2,523 fps at a pressure of only 27,400 CUP for a starting load, I would have thought it would have been a little to fast of a powder for the heavy bullets since you never see any load data for it in the manuals for it. I always heard Varget was great for the heavy long range bullets is why I was asking about it in particular. I also have plenty of H335 and Benchmark to work with, I noticed both being on your chart as well. Here are a few proven loads using several powders. I also have a big stash or IMR 8208 for this round as well. On occasion I will use H-4895 for a 5.56 load. I don't use Varget in 5.56, I stick with ball powders like BL-C2 and Win 748. Whats the avg load of Varget with the 77gr MK's? 23 - 24gr's? Primers on the other hand.well their still hard to find. THis has gotten much better this last month up here in MN. I am vorking up loads for many powders so as to have many powder choices when I go in to buy powder and run into that "we're out of that powder" thing. Oh ya.I have not tried Varget yet but have it on the list of powders to try. Not sure if this helps but it's my 2 cents for ya. If you ask the ? How much H335 do you l aod for 223/5.56 you will find that the average is 25gr some load less some load more. This load will clover leaf/one ragged hole at 25 yards. My buddy has same gun and gets same results with this load. This load is grouping consistantly right around 1 inch at 100 yards using a DPMS AR15 AP4 16" 1-9 twist. Go look up the load DATA in your manual before using this load info to varify this as safe info. H335 25gr OAL 2.25 Crimped using a LEE Factory Crimp Die. Here's what I am using with Hornady 55gr FMJ's. You will find that loading for accuracy may be close to milspec valocities, but why worry about it? Load something that is grouping nice in your black rifle and smile when you walk down range and see that nice tight group. I load cause I like punching paper and making the tightest group I can get on that perticular day. I do not load for that "I want MILSPEC" load. RL 15 and H335 and H322 are great for me. I have test loads made up and yet to shoot for Reloader 7, reloader 10x and one more that excapes the mind at the moment. I have have very good results using Reloader 15, H335, and H322. ![]() You will find that many people have many opinions as to what powder to use, primers etc. You will find that the 223/5.56 is very easy to have success with. ![]()
