Cartridge?

I'm using H4895 with a 60 grain Hornady Vmax in an 8" twist Tikka 223 Rem. Shoots near 1/2 moa off the bench which is pretty good for a light weight sporter factory rifle.

Try H335 or Varget for the 223.

Don't forget that boring ol AA2520 and RL15

2520 or tac

In the 223 rem and 308 win AR-COMP became my favorite over Varget.
Had a little better accuracy with only a minimal velocity drop.
Still need to try it in the 6.5x47 to verify if it's usable there or even compares to Varget in that cartridge.

There are so many great powder's. Every gun might prefer a different powder even shooting the same bullet. But i can attest that the powder is what makes accuracy or ruin's it. Varget / cfe223/ lt32/H322 would be my first try. Ussually max charges work best for me.

I have had good results with H335 and for a bit more velocity CFE223

While I’m on it, Berger 70 grain vld is the other bullet I’m trying. Any thoughts?

Varget for me. I have tried the others and have some luck with them, but Varget is what I keep coming back to. RE-15 is my second/backup choice.

Sierra recommends Varget for thier accuracy load with Varget & 69gr bullet.
I loaded thier recipe with no success.
However in my 6x45 aka 6mm223, I run 25gr
Benchmark with a 70gr berger cci450.

I used H335 with 60gr VMAX in 1in12 twist. Very accurate. Best 3 round group was 0.259”.
Sadly H335 is hard to come by in England now so trying Viht N140...
Looks promising after the first few loads.
