Accuarate Arms AA-2230 55-69gr

I've loaded at least 8 lbs each of the above poowders without any problems and goood to excellent accuracy. They all throw well by volume although I'm a single stage guy for rifle.
I do own a dillon 550 but reserve that for bulk pistol ammo. I'm alittle anneal about my rifle ammo but since I've been shooting alot within 100m the past year, I'm looking at moving over to the dillon for plink/practice ammo. I throw my 223 powder with an RCBS Little Dandy Powder Measure. It is small and convienant for 50-100 round loading blocks. If the rotor is alittle short in weight, I dremel/polish to desired weight. If alittle over, a small strip of 'Scotch' Tape after solvent cleaning. Be sure to recheck weigh occassionally, and especially when changing lot numbers.

All that is necessary for trolls to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.
In my experience, AA-2230, H335, and recently Benchmark are my go to powders.
+1 for TAC. It's reasonably priced and readily available, even in this market. On top of that it meters extremely well and is clean burning.
I am with Markm and 24.5 TAC - honestly all good advise here. If you can get primers, all else is easy!

I have used H4895 for the same round that you are attempting to load with no problems. I'm using 24.7 gr for the 55g FMJBT rounds.
Good enough for plinking for me.
In my 1:8 twist I use AA2230 & AA2460. 2460 seems to be better if you are also going to shoot heavier bullets in the 60-68g range. I like Varget for 69g and over.
