223 Powder Choices 77 SMK

I have great results with 3031 with Hornady 75 match bullets in my 20" AR. I'm not hunting and only shoot to 200, but rain or shine, hot or cold, it is reliable and accurate.
 
I was merely using those loads as an example. I agree with you, there is no need to run loads like that in a 18"-barreled gas gun. In any event, the H4895 and N140 powders you have should still both be excellent choices in your setup.
I appreciate it. I think a longer barreled 223 bolt action will be my next purchase with the intent of shoot 75gr elds, 77gr smks and some of the 80gr stuff. Probably going with a factory tikka for now unless I can source some parts for a deal (not planning on that haha).
