    TAC

    Did a ton of research and based on some experienced reloaders and Barnes' recommendations, went with Ramshot TAC for 62 and 70 grain Barnes TSX round in a 16" BCM with a 1:7 twist. Had to go to gunbroker.com to get some though. Google the list of powder burn rates as it has a huge range of them that will work for various AR loads.

    TAC and H335

    I use TAC for 64 gr and above and H335 for lighter than 64 gr. I have also had good luck with RL15 but prefer the TAC.

    Like Snake said, TAC works great in a powder measure which means its perfect for progressive presses. I run a Dillon 550 with the Dillon powder measure and get great results.

    Right now it is whatever powder I can get my hands on. Lately that has been Varget, one can of BLC-2, and some 8208XBR.

    I like Varget, and I can reload for my Garand with it too.

    Good results with CFE223 with 55 grain bullets (whatever is available) in a DD 16" 1:7 twist barrel. Load about 25.7 grains. No chrono data yet.

    TAC for 55s & 77s. Works pretty well for 7.62x51 and would be my fallback powder there if I ran out of Benchmark (and vice versa).

    I have had really good results using H4895 in .223/.30-30/.308

    Powder charges fill the case 80% @25.5gr and is pretty accurate behind 55g Hornady PSP's and Midsouth Varmint Nightmare bullets.

    I have printed sub MOA groups in all of my rifles with this powder.

    I also use IMR8208xbr and get the same results as H4895.
