Ok guys
Wes recommended some powder for a couple loads I wanted to work up. Unfortunately I couldn't find the powder in my area. So I was able to get some BL-C(2) and some CFE 223. The bullets are Hornady 168 gr bthp and 168 gr ELD-M. I am going to load a few more ELD-M tonight. Hit the range tomorrowhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5a6fdd045b.jpgQuote:

Wes I did some range time today. 5 shot groups at 100 yrds.
CFE 223 had some pressure spikes.
BLC-2 not to bad.
Looks like Varget work out to be the best.
What do you think?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54da446314.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb5571d982.jpg

That looks pretty good. I like Varget too but it just doesn’t meter as well as I’d like.

I was try to find a powder that would meter in my Dillon XL650. Varget doesn't.Sent from my SM-G965U using TapatalkQuote:

It’s pretty easy to find here and cheaper than H335. I really like Western Powders. I use their Big Game in my 30.06. Their new manual is pretty nice as well. Hopefully you find some and it works in your rig.Quote:

I’ve had great performance out of IMR-4895, and 175gr SMK’s. I’m fixing to try Varget, because I hear such great thingshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6b74041cc7.jpgQuote:
