Temperature stable Ball powders ???

I'm getting ready to start reloading for AR-15 (.223 cal) and thought it would be great to find an accurate, temperature stable ball powder (or one that just meters really well). Normally I would just go with Varget, and I still may, but wanted something that meters well through my powder thrower so I can hopefully throw charges +/- .2gr. I'd really like to be able to load faster than I do for my bolt rifle.

I'll be shooting bullets anywhere from 55gr to 69gr.


Thanks in advance!

Ramshot TAC has been pretty good.I dont think you will find any ball powder as stable as varget.But it throws dead nuts on my Dillon so I use it.
