Good Powder for 80gr. .223 (AR15)

[MMH]

Beginning to develop precision loads for my AR15. Will be loading 73 gr. & 80 gr. ELD-M for my 22" barreled AR. What are some good powders? My go to .308 powder was Varget & 4064. I do have some RL-15, Win 748 and BL-C(2) which I see in my Hornady manual for 5.56.

I couldn't get velocity with 8208, but varget did the trick.

I shoot an AR 15 in NRA High Power and most of the people I see at the matches are using RL 15 with the 77 and 80 grain bullets. That's what I have been using for a long time and really like it.

I used nothing but Reloder 15 for service rifle loads with the Hornady 75 BTHP, 75 Amax, and Nosler 80 Custom Competition.
