If you must know, I have used H4895 in the 30-06 but I paired it with a 125 grain Ballistic Tip. I find it works best in this pairing than with a 150 grain BT. This may be a good option for the 223, if you are looking for a one powder fits all kind of a deal. Powders like Varget, 4064, etc would work here as well. It all depends on your preference and what the desired outcome is from the reloads.
Check Hodgdon's load data, see if there is any data that may be useful to you.
Good Luck  |
I concur.
Except, if a M1 Garand is involved.
Then stick with the 4895.
As an aside.
I'd be looking at Swampdonkeyoutdoors, ad in the buy sell, they have powder.
