Powder Choice.

Post by Rwa198 »

Looking for the best powder for the following-

.223 Rem
24" Varmint Barrel
1:8" twist
ADI Case
Berger 80.5 Gn Fullbore target projectile
.010" jump

Shooting mainly 300 - 700 yds occasionally back to 900. My question is which Powder do you good people recommend
2206H or 2208

Thanks in advance.

First up, for those heavies get a 1-7 twist barrel.
With 80.5/85.5/88s both 2208 and 2206H work well.
Just use what you have/can get and what fits(ADI brass can get crunchy with charges depending what MV you are aiming for).
Going broke one primer at a time
