223 powder and primers?

[Sinocopa]

So I'm pretty new to reloading and wanted to see if anyone has good input on what powder and primers I should use. I'm going to be using Hornady ELD match 22 caliber 73 gr. bullets.

Barrel length? Goal? Plinking loads or max long range (hot but accurate) loads or?

Whatever primers are in the shelf that you can always get ahold of and I like 8208xbr for powder

16" barrel, wanting to shoot up to 400 yards. and want fairly accurate loads.

Thanks! I'm looking to buy online, so I will check that out! I recently acquired about 4000 casings of brass.

+1 on XBR 8208. Reload 223 on my Dillon and it meters very well.

Another vote for xbr8208

CFE223, W748, TAC, XBR8208, and Varget will all work.

Here is an entire thread with some findings about the 73gr ELD-M

I like using RL15, Varget, and CFE 223 on my 16.5 barrel 1:7 twist, 77 grainers, Rem 71/2 or CCI 450
