53gr smk load info for 223ai

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a nice pet load for a 53gr smk in a 223ai. Rifle is a true'd 700 with a 1:12 barrel...24", threaded, and run with a can

i have 500 brand new win brass left over...so going to use it instead of lapua for now.
 
Benchmark works real good in the .223 rem with 50-55gr bullets for me. I would also try the 4895's as well as the 4064's.
 
Not the bullet you are asking about,but with Berger 52 gr. bullets I have had good luck wit H335 in my 12 twist Krieger 223 AI barrel on a trued Rem 700 . I use Lapua brass, Fed 205 primers, and 27.5 of H335.
It shoots great but won't feed well.
