Just wondering if anyone may have a part tin of either powder to sell. Looking to do some load development for the 223 in the 65-79gr projectile range. If not I will just buy full tin if I can source some.
Cheers

Can't help you from up here but I was doing the same last week for 70g speer and although it's likely on the slow side the first load I tried of 23g 2206h shot half an inch so job done for me. Re tested this morning and loaded up a box.
Both load data and my experience suggests you try 2206 first, especially with the heavier end of that range of bullet weights.

Also tried the 70 grain Speer in S&B cases 23 grains of AR2206H for 2,680 fps. The S&B cases are very heavy and 23 grains as all that would fit. Will retest with Remington or LC83 cases. I suspect that you will find AR2206H better for the heavier projectiles but I am changing to BM8208 for the 55 grain projectiles as AR2206H loads need to be compressed.

I have used both powders pushing 53 - 55 gr Vmax projectiles.
I had really good results from both but preferred the BM2, it gave excellent accuracy, very small spread of speed and metered out really well.
