Re: 223 55 gr FMJBT Load Recc's

I'd suggest using a ball powder in a slightly faster burn rate. Since you're loading 55 FMJ's, ultimate accuracy is not generally the primary goal, but pumping out a bunch of "good enough", ie < 2moa, ammo with as little hassle as possible. The stick powders like RL15 or Varget will not feed as well as ball in a progressive and you would need a little more powder for the same velocity. I'd suggest H335, W748, Ramshot Xterminator, AA 2330, or better yet, surplus WCC844. They're essentially the same powder. Save the RL/Varget for your heavier match bullets and spend the time you just saved on shooting more.
