    H335 and 50 to 55gr bullet will do the trick. [emoji6][emoji106]

    I like Winchester 748 for 55 grain FMJ or SP. It meters great in my Hornady progressive. I have a pound of H335 and BLC-2 to try. The shortest barrel I have ran is a 10.3 inch SBR.

    CFE223 works well in the 55s and I have used it in 73 and 75s with great accuracy out of my wife's rifle.

    I believe the 1:7 is correct.
