Trying to work up a few lighter .223 loads. Have tried Benchmark and H335 and wasn't really doing the trick accuracy or performance wise. Benchmark was accurate but at a max load in Hornady manual was getting only 3100 FPS for a 50 grain vmax. Trying 52 gr Hornady match with both those and those did not shoot well. Could be the bullet but figured I'd try another powder. BLC-2 though it seems is slower burning was listed for higher FPS in the manual with higher charges. Bought a pound to try hope it gives me some good results. Wondering if it may be an accurate powder?
Gun is VTR SS in .223. Gotten around 1/2 Moa to sub 1/2 with some factory loads and hand loads of 69 gr SMKs with Varget so I know the rifle can be accurate with what it likes.
I also realized the 52 vmaxes have a really good BC maybe try them with my 1-9 twist? Tried the 50s for a bit more speed.
Thanks all
