I used to run H335 for all my .223 loads. H335 isn't super cheap so I decided to go a different route for bulk loading. Found this Shooters World Precision Rifle that's supposed to mimic another very popular brand name powder and is almost half the cost. So far the results are on par with the spendy powder.

That's good to hear! I won 3lbs of that powder, but haven't gotten around to using it yet. I'm a big fan of the Shooters World powders in other calibers...
Extruded or ball powder? How’s it meter? May need to give it a try. Varget is a tad pricey for plinking stuff.
Extruded powder.
Take a look: https://shootersworldpowder.com/precision-rifle/
It's extruded which makes it more difficult to meter than H335 with my Lee Perfect Powder Measure.Quote:

I use the SWTactical Rifle for my 55 gr FMJ’s with great results and it meters just like the H335 on my Dillon.

Thanks... reviewed their specs and reloading data. Seems that Precision is for heavier 223 projectiles. I think it was their Match an one other that supported the 40 and 55 gr bullets.Quote:

This propellant has been a secret of OEM loaders for some time. It is the cleanest .223 and .308 spherical propellant on the market, and a superior alternative to H335 and BLC(2). Optimized for 55 grain .223 Remington, and 147/150 grain .308 Winchester, it also provides sub-minute accuracy with numerous match loads we’ve evaluated. It is extremely low in residue, muzzle smoke, and is flash suppressed.
The propellant flows like water through a volumetric charger. Loaders will see no more than 1/10th of a grain of variation in charge weight from a powder drop. This has been tested in Dillon, RCBS, Lee, Hornady, Hollywood, and Lyman chargers.
Additionally, this propellant enables loaders to meet the velocity and pressure specifications of popular rounds for AR and M1A platforms. It provides ample gas pressure and volume for reliable cycling of these operating mechanisms.
Thanks!Quote:

It meters like water just like they state. I really like it and they run no hazmat on it quite a bit. I’ve also got the SW4350 as well and am going to test that in my 06 soon. Slowly becoming a fan but I’m just hoping it stays quiet and price stays low.

No doubt! I'd like to save my H335 for zombie vitamins and some other specialty pills and use Shooters World for bulk stuff.Quote:

That’s what I do but it’s getting harder to use the other when you’re getting the results for less.Quote:
