Bea..haven`t made up my mind what to start out with in it.I`d like to give benchmark a try.Might dabble some with it in my standard 223Rem too.I`ve heard a lot of favorable stuff about it.:thumbs:

H335 is great option too.

I have some BLC2 left and I`ve always got VARGET in the cabinet.What do you suggest as good starter?

I would start with H335 or Win748, but BLC2 is a good one to . I f you are going to use bullet heavier than 60 gr then Varget would be good. :thumbs:

You know with the 223 Ack you are getting close to 22-250 territory. The 68 and 75 gr will really get out there and work on the coyotes.:thumbs:Varget is the recommend powder for the Hornady 75 gr A-Max in the 223 Ack.

One other powder you might want to try with heavy weight bullets is Hod. 4895 if Varget doesn't work out for you.:thumbs:
