    223 Powder

    Hello all,

    I a, currently trying to get a load developed for my 223 using Benchmark 2 and Hornady 53gr Vmaxs.
    I seem to get pretty good accuracy, but the velocity is not as fast as I would have thought, even between 26 and 26.6 grains of powder.

    What powders do you guys use in your 223s, and are you getting velocity anywhere near what is quoted on ammo like the Hornady Super performance?

    Cheers Sam
