I'd say stick with the long heavy Sierra or Berger bullets ( 80 to 85.5 grains non vld ) And pick several of the powders from a couple of different makers, maybe try the newer IMR or Hodgdon ones. They are pretty much all the same if they are recommended for the .223 with heavy bullets by the maker. Somewhere between 23 and 25 grains of powder usually and get a reloading manual.

How long is the barrel?
I've had the Berger 80VLDs shoot the best out of my FTR, followed by the 80 ELDs, then SMKs.
