Sig 716 favorite powder

[jon308]

Anybody have a favorite powder for the 716, Hornady or sierra 168 grn HPBT or A-max.

[GI_Jared]

Hodgdon load data from the interwebs. Varget will probably be the most accurate, H335 will meter the nicest and is cheapest, CFE223 prevents against copper fouling and i believe is quite temp change resistant as well.
